White Path, Soya Hills

Be healed by photogenic scenery

At Japan’s northern tip is the town of Wakkanai and the beautiful Soya Hills. Whether you enjoy cycling or a pleasant hike, the White Path, constructed out of crushed shells on the southwest side of Soya Hills, is a dream come true for nature lovers! Be sure to visit between May and November to snapshots of the vivid contrast between the white shelled path, rolling green slopes, and vast blue sky above. Those seeking more at the end of the 3-kilometer path should take the path to the main road and into downtown Wakkanai.
