Destination Introduction
Shakotan is a city in Hokkaido, Japan. It has many popular attractions, including Cape Kamui, Misaki no Yu Onsen, Shimamui Coast, making it well worth a visit.
It was a really nice day with a lovely strong sea breeze. We had driven for almost two hours from Niseko along the coast and arrived at around 10am. There were not many people on the walk. The panoramic coastal views were magnificent. The path although undulating, was not difficult. We could not complete the entire route because about 15 to 20 minutes later a guy came up and said the path was closed to all visitors because of strong winds. We then returned the way we came. The guy went on towards the tip of the cape (most likely to get the other visitors on the path to go back). Despite not being able to walk towards the tip of the cape, we felt lucky to have seen some of the views along the walk. Certainly it is the place that you cannot miss it if you drive a long way from Sapporo. The scenic is breath taking.
