The lighthouse is cordoned off at the moment while the area in front of it is resurfaced and shored up. There isn’t a great deal else to see but it is the easternmost point in the country and includes a monument to the Northern Territories (the disputed islands of Hokkaido). Cape Ishiishi, further along the coast, is perhaps the more exciting choice.

Cape Nosappu is a must-visit spot—it's the easternmost point of Japan! The views are stunning, especially during sunrise when you can see the first light touch Japan. On a clear day, you can even catch a glimpse of the Russian-held Habomai Islands. The area has a peaceful yet solemn atmosphere, with monuments and displays reminding visitors of its historical significance. It’s windy and can get chilly, so dress accordingly. A truly memorable stop in Hokkaido!

The easternmost coast of Japan, with its wide expanse, offers a sense of the ocean's grandeur. Along the way, you can see many landmarks erected by various Japanese groups or celebrities advocating for the "return of the Northern Four Islands." The wind is very strong, and you can enjoy watching adorable seabirds and the iconic clock tower.

It's a reasonably nice peninsula. As you'd expect, the view from the tip is fully uninterrupted and it really feels a bit like standing at the edge of the world. On the day I went, the visibility was absolutely terrible and it was freezing cold even in the middle of summer, but I'm not letting that affect the review. It is worth noting though. Cape Nosappu in general is a town with a great deal of focus on the occupied northern territories, with several monuments dedicated to their end goal of seeing their eventual return by Russia. The main draws of the town are general curiosity about the easternmost point, crab restaurants, birding, and the museums here. I didn't find any of these to be hugely interesting on the day, but your mileage may vary.

Cape Nosappu is all about the return of the Northern Territories, which are 4 islands off the coast of the Nemuro Peninsula. The dispute started with the Soviet Union in the 1940s and is unresolved until this day. Visit on the first week of July, and the view was completely obscured by fog. Multiple monuments here, the biggest a metal arch with an ever-burning flame. Also a bell, and several other stone monuments.

December 2023 Was very windy at the time of visit. Don't forget to bring an umbrella, as it is snowy in the mainland, here it'll rain. If you want to see the seas frozen, I'd suggest coming in mid to late winter. Bus is about 40min from Nosappu station. Round trip about 2,000yen. If you don't know which ticket to buy, ask the staff, they'll provide help very kindly. Great place to learn about the Kuril Islands.

A small cape easily reached by car. When I was there, they were doing major maintainence to the slope which probably had land slide

A station without any staff Basically this is the most Eastern JR station, very primitive Our first impression was wonder if this station no longer use, haha.....

Worth to have a stop here

Station closed on 15/03/2025. Nemuro become the most Eastern JR station in Japan.

(Translated by Google) Japan's easternmost station, I stopped by because the station was going to be closed this month. Surprisingly, there are many houses around the station. I feel that there is more need than other stations on the Hanasaki Line. Wouldn't it be better if they were concentrated at Nemuro Station? I didn't feel so lonely, There are signs posted all over the place stating that it is the easternmost station in Japan. (Original) 日本最東端の駅、 今月で廃駅になるとの事で寄ってみました。 意外にも駅周辺には多くの住宅があり、 花咲線他駅よりもニーズはありそうに感じます。 根室駅に集約した方が何かと良いのであろうか。 そこまで寂れた感じも無く、 そこかしこに、日本最東端の駅である事の掲出がなされております。

(Translated by Google) The station that will disappear after the time change on 2025.03.15 was once the easternmost station in Japan. Visit as soon as possible to record this moment. In the future, in addition to trains no longer stopping here, the station will be completely demolished, which is a shame. (Original) 2025.03.15改點後即將消失的車站，曾為日本最東端之站，趁快造訪紀錄一下這一刻。 之後除了列車不再停靠這裡之外，車站會整個拆掉，不勝唏噓。

(Translated by Google) Visited in March 2025, a few days before the station was closed due to timetable revisions. I stayed at a hotel in Kushiro and took the first train on the Hanasaki Line, arriving at 7:58. The stay was about 30 minutes. There were many people who got off the train together, and a taxi was waiting in front of the station. After taking photos, the people headed back to Nemuro Station. Me and a few others waited at the station. The station itself is a stick-line station with one line per surface. There are no toilets or station notes. There were benches in the plaza, but there was no waiting room, so I was glad it wasn't raining or snowing. The surrounding area is a residential area and there is also a school, so I passed many students, but no one was using the station, and only iron nerds were getting on and off. I thought it was inevitable that the station would be abandoned. (Original) 2025年3月、ダイヤ改正で廃駅になる数日前に訪問。 釧路のホテルに泊まり、花咲線の始発で7:58到着。滞在時間は30分ほどでした。 一緒に降りた人が多数、駅前ではタクシーが待機しており写真を撮り終えた人達が根室駅へと移動していきました。自分と他数名はそのまま駅で待機。 駅自体は1面1線の棒線駅。トイレや駅ノートもありません。広場にベンチはありますが待合室も無かったので雨や雪が降ってなくてよかった。 周辺は住宅街が広がっており、学校もあるので多数の学生とすれ違いましたが誰も駅を利用しておらず、鉄オタのみが乗降。これでは廃駅になるのもしかたなかったのかなと思いました。

(Translated by Google) This is the easternmost station and a phantom station with a short lifespan. It stands alone in a residential area. The stolen station sign was also missing. There is a school nearby, so I think it is in demand among students going to school, but I feel a bit sad to see it become an abandoned station. (Original) 最東端の駅として寿命わずかの幻の駅。住宅街の中にポツンとある。盗まれた駅名標もしっかりなかった。近くに学校があるから登校する学生には需要があると思うが、廃駅になってしまうのは何だか寂しい気もする。

(Translated by Google) [Cape Ochiishi] A cape that juts out into the Pacific Ocean from the base of the Nemuro Peninsula special natural monument When the Dutch explorer Fries visited Nemuro in 1643, he saw Cape Ochiishi and introduced it to the world, naming it ``Cape Manshoft''. The coastline of Cape Ochiishi is a sheer cliff about 50m high, but the inland part of the cape is a flat plateau, and the Cape Ochiishi Wetland is a pure forest of Scots spruce. A walking path has been established to the tip of the cape, and the surrounding area is also known as the Sphagnum Wetland. In 1930, the Sakai azalea, which can be found in Sakhalin and the Kamchatka Peninsula, was discovered in Cape Ochiishi Wetland. As it is close to the easternmost tip of Hokkaido, the Cape Ochiishi Lighthouse is a major landmark for ships sailing in the Pacific Ocean. In 1994, the Cape Ochiishi Station of the National Institute for Environmental Studies' Global Environmental Research Center was built, which conducts weather observation and atmospheric sampling, separation, and measurement. Since October 1995, we have been observing and publishing data on the concentration of carbon dioxide and atmospheric trace components, which are thought to be related to global warming. Vehicles are not allowed inside the cape as it is an environmentally protected area, so you will have to park at a parking lot and walk along a wooden path about 2 km long. Truly the end of the world. A place that makes you feel like you're actually in Hokkaido. I want you to go there once before you die. The path is well-maintained, but there is quite a bit of walking, so be careful. Recommended level: ★★★★★ 2020.08.23 (Original) [落石岬] 根室半島の付け根から太平洋に突き出た岬 特別天然記念物 1643年にオランダの探検家フリースが根室を訪れた際、落石岬を見て「マンスホーフト(人頭)岬」と名付け世界に紹介した。 落石岬の海岸線は高さ約50mの断崖絶壁になっているが、岬の内陸部は平坦な台地になっており、アカエゾマツ純林の落石岬湿原が広がっている。 岬の先端まで散策道が整備されており、周辺は別名ミズゴケ湿原ともいわれる。 1930年に樺太やカムチャツカ半島にみられるサカイツツジが落石岬湿原で発見された。 北海道の最東端に近いため、太平洋を航行する船舶にとって大きな目印で落石岬灯台が設置されている。 1994年には、気象観測や大気の採取・分離・測定などを行う国立環境研究所地球環境研究センター落石岬ステーションが建設された。 1995年10月より地球温暖化に関連するとされる二酸化炭素の濃度や大気微量成分を観測しデータを公開している。 岬内は環境保全地域になっているため車両の乗り入れが禁止になっており、車止めに駐車して、2km程度の木道を歩くことになる。 まさに世界の果て。 北海道に来たと心から思える場所。 死ぬまでに一度行ってほしい。 道は整備されているがかなり歩くので注意。 おすすめ度:★★★★★ 2020.08.23

(Translated by Google) After 25 minutes of walking along the wooden path from the parking lot, the view suddenly opens and you can see Cape Ochiishi Lighthouse in the distance. From there, you will arrive at the cape in about 5 minutes. The cliff-top cape offers quite a view. You will have to walk the same distance on your way back, so you need to calculate the time accordingly. There was a wild deer. (Original) 駐車場から木道を歩いて25分、一気に視界が開けると先の方に落石岬灯台が見えます。そこから5分程で岬に到着です。断崖絶壁の岬はなかなかの眺めです。帰りも同じ距離を歩くので、時間は計算しておく必要があります。野生の鹿がいました。

(Translated by Google) You can get there in 20 minutes by walking along the wooden path. You can see the spectacular coastline. 😄 (Original) 木道をひらすら20分でたどり着きます。 絶景の海岸線が見られますよ。😄

(Translated by Google) Before we knew it, a new point at Cape Ochiishi was created. I previously commented on Cape Ochiishi Lighthouse, but since everyone has been evaluating and commenting on Cape Ochiishi itself by writing about the boardwalk and lighthouse, I think I should write about Cape Ochiishi as a whole here. I've been here twice and I hardly see anyone else. There is a bit of a scary atmosphere at dawn and dusk, so it can be scary to be alone. Of course, those times are when you can see some amazing scenery, so if possible, I'd like to go with a group of people. (Original) いつの間にか、また新たに落石岬のポイントが出来てます。 以前は落石岬灯台でコメントしましたが、皆さんが木道や灯台の書き込みで落石岬自体を評価、コメントしているので本来は此処に落石岬全体の書き込みをすれば良いと思います。 僕は2度、ここへ行きましたが、ほとんど他の人に会いません。 明け方や夕暮れ時は少し怖い雰囲気が有るので、独りでは物騒な気がします。 勿論、そんな時間帯が素晴らし景色に出会えるときなので、出来れば複数の人数で行きたいなぁ。

(Translated by Google) As you walk along the wooden path, you will suddenly see a red and white lighthouse standing alone in a green field and the blue Pacific Ocean. You can have a spectacular view all to yourself with no one else around. (Original) 木道を歩いていくと、突然広がる緑の原野にポツンと建つ紅白の灯台と、青く広がる太平洋。誰もいない絶景を独り占めできます。

(Translated by Google) It takes about 20 minutes to park the car and walk to the cape. There is no parking lot and there are probably not many people visiting. I only passed one pair on the way back and forth. You can have the spectacular view all to yourself ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) (Original) 車を停めて岬まで徒歩で20分程でしょうか。 駐車場もなく、訪れる人も少ないのでしょう。 往復の道のりで1組しかすれ違いませんでした。 絶景を独り占めできます( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

(Translated by Google) Cape Nosappu is good, but the endless feeling here is also amazing. It's about a 20 minute walk each way after parking your car, but I think it's worth visiting. I thought it would be good to visit at dusk or in winter next time. (Original) 納沙布岬も良いですが、ここの果て無し感も半端なく良いです。 車を停めてから片道２０分ほど歩きますが、訪れるに値打ちある場所だと思います。次回は夕暮れ時または冬に訪れるのも良いなと思いました。

Nice little bird Sanctuary. I went in June 2025, so around the beginning of summer. It's staffed and accessible from 9am onwards, which is a bit late for most birding in summer since sunrise is around 3:30am in June, which is a little counter-productive. It has a range of leaflets and informative material on local species. It also has scopes to view the local reed beds, ocean, lake, and forest edge. The first time I came to Shunkunitai I'd forgotten to buy a bottle of water before catching the bus, but I didn't want to go back too quickly since it was about 660 yen each way and the bus only ran every couple of hours. Unfortunately this centre didn't have any vending machines or water dispensers leaving me thirsty, which was a bit disappointing. When I asked about getting water I was told to drive to the local road station, which wasn't particularly helpful since I didn't have a car.

(Translated by Google) I think it's really boring in this day and age. However, I felt strongly that such learning facilities are actually important. To amuse or entertain...I don't need anything like that. All of nature is irreplaceable when humans live. Because everyone should know that. By understanding this, all humans can better coexist with wild animals and reap the benefits of nature. (Original) 今の時代、本当に地味だとは思う。 けれど実はやはりこうした学習施設は大切なのだと強く感じた。 面白がらせたり、楽しませたり…そんなものは要らない。 人間が生きる、に全ての自然は掛け替えがない。 それを全ての人間が知るべきだから。 それを理解することで、全ての人間がより良く野生動物たちと共生しならがら、自然の恩恵を受ける事が出来る。

(Translated by Google) You can check information on wild birds in Shunkunitai, so it's a great place to stop by when you're out walking. The exhibits are elaborate and well worth a look. They also have rental rain boots, so it's nice to be able to go for a walk in Shunkunitai even if you just happen to drop by. (Original) 春国岱の野鳥情報が確認出来るので、散策時に寄っておきたいところです。展示は凝っていて、なかなか見応えがありました。長靴のレンタルがあり、ふらっと寄った時でも春国岱の散策に行けるのが良いです。

We went there in early October. A bit of a disappointment as you cannot walk really far into the peninsula.

(Translated by Google) This is a city-run park. There are well-maintained paths around the park. The exterior wall is currently under construction. (Original) 市営こ公園です。よく整備された回遊道があります。只今外壁工事中です。

(Translated by Google) It's been a while since I last visited to take photos. The boardwalk was under construction, so I had to take a detour. (Original) 撮影で久々の訪問 木道工事中と為迂回して撮影となりました。

(Translated by Google) Walking along the boardwalk above the marsh felt like a short hike and was very refreshing. We also saw a herd of Ezo deer and many whooper swans. It was the first time I had heard the sound of whooper swans. We turned back because we were warned that there might be bears in the forest. As of the end of October, part of the initial boardwalk is damaged and closed to traffic. The detour is via a gravel road on the ocean side. (Original) 湿原の上にかかった木道を歩くのはちょっとしたハイキング気分でとてもリフレッシュできました。 エゾシカの群れにも会えたし、オオハクチョウもたくさん会えました。 オオハクチョウの鳴き声は初めて聞けました。 林に入ると熊がいるかもしれない、とのことで引き返しました。 10月末時点で、最初の木道は一部壊れているので通行止めです。迂回路は海側の砂利道です。

A significant shrine in eastern Hokkaido that's worth dropping by, it has a unique fish charm that's part of Hokkaido's unique charms collection spread across different locale of the island.

This is a very famous shrine in the area. Here you can draw a fortune slip in the shape of a sanma (saury fish), which predicts your future luck. It is very special. There is also a unique architectural design of the port, and you can also enjoy the sea view from a distance. If you happen to come to this place, you can come here to experience the Japanese port style.

A small, beautiful and informative shrine with many photographs of past festival celebrations on the walls all around the very grand portable shrine. I fished for a sanma fish omikuji (proudly and happily hanging on my souvenir wall at home now) and got a 大吉 (very good) predictions that accurately predicted an unexpected surprise “go Shiretoko National Park and you might see a brown bear 🐻 “ and we actually did. 🤎

Very spiritual and humbling experience. Pay attention to Shinto shrine customs and etiquette.

A famous place of religion, good to know more about traditional culture of Japan

This is one of the easternmost manned shrines in Japan with more than 200 years of history. The origin of the shrine is when Kahei Takadaya, a pioneer of northern sea fishing, worshiped the shrine while managing the fishing grounds in 1806. The shrine was transported to the current spot in 1881. After visiting and praying at the shrine, it is recommended you have a look at the other buildings and facilities such as the Festival Museum (Omatsuri Shiryokan) in the shrine office. Here you can see documents and displays like the gorgeous portable shrine (Omikoshi). It is also worth checking out the Goshuin (the letter bearing the shogun’s scarlet seal), amulets (omamori), or written oracles and fortunes (omikuji) which are distributed and sold there.   ＜Amulets (Omamori)＞ This is a small object or charm, it is a someone’s wish for protection against evil, blessing(good luck / better fortune) and guardianship. Omamori are Japanese amulets, talismans and charms. ＜Written Oracles (Omikuji)＞Written Oracles, Omikuji, are distributed at the shrine to tell someone’s luck. Omikuji should be tied to Mikujikake (the rod or rope to hang Omikuji fortunes between two pillars). ＜Votive Picture of Horse (Ema)＞ Ema are wooden plates with pictures dedicated to temples and shrines used when praying at the shrines or saying thanks for the wish or goal that was achieved. They are hang in specific places, and you can write your wish or name on the back of some of them.   *As of August 2017Pics:Address:1-4, Kotohiracho, Nemuro, Hokkaido, JapanGoogle Map:Access１．BUS 【From Nemuro City Area】 Take the “Hanasaki Line” bus from the Nemuro Station Bus Terminal and get off at the “Shiomicho” stop. The shrine is 3 minutes walk from the bus stop. ２．RENTAL CAR（Recomended） 5 minutes walk from JR Nemuro Station

The place is in good condition and it's deeply related to the development of north Hokkaido. The views are amazing.

A lovely and peaceful park right in the center of Nemuro City! My family and I really enjoyed our visit here. The open space, tall trees, and quiet surroundings made it a perfect place to relax and let the kids play. One of the highlights for us was spotting the Pokémon manhole cover featuring Nemuro’s local design — it was a fun surprise and a great photo spot for both kids and adults who love Pokémon! If you're passing through Nemuro, Meiji Park is a nice place to take a break, enjoy nature, and discover a little piece of local culture.

(Translated by Google) The silo has an overwhelming presence. It was originally a ranch, and the silo was built in the early Showa period to secure silage, and later became a park. It is the largest brick-built registered tangible cultural property in Japan, with a height of 15m and a diameter of 6m. The parking lot can accommodate more than 70 cars, including the first and second parking lots. There are clean toilets and three types of play equipment, so it is a recommended place to take a rest. (Original) サイロの圧倒的な存在感、元々は牧場だったらしく、昭和初期にサイレージを確保するべくサイロが造られ、その後公園に成ったとの事。高さ15m直径6m国内最大にして煉瓦造りの登録有形文化財です。駐車場は第一・二を含め70台以上は止められるかと。清潔なトイレ・三種の遊具が有り、休憩スポットしてお薦めです。

Just another park

(Translated by Google) ☆Meiji Park☆ This park was one of my favorite places to visit. I had seen it on YouTube before, and I was so excited to see these three beautiful silos! ☆ It was evening, so it was dark, but when you see them in person, you can see the three silos standing majestically apart. The large, beautiful brickwork is a sight to behold! Meiji Park is huge, with the grass neatly trimmed, so it's well-maintained and a very pleasant place to stay. The parking lot is also fairly spacious, and many people were staying in their cars, even campers. I'm really glad I went. ☆ (Original) ☆明治公園☆ この公園も是非行きたい場所の 一つでした〜以前YouTubeで見 こんな綺麗な三基のサイロが 有るんだ〜と思い行って見ました☆ 時間的に夕方なので暗い印象 ですが実物を見ると三基距離を 開けて堂々と立っていますねぇ 側に寄ると大きい〜レンガ作りが 美しいですよ！ とにかくこの明治公園は広いです 芝なども綺麗に刈って有るので 整備が行き渡りとても気持ちがイイ 駐車場も割りと広く車中泊 キャンピングカーなども多く 泊まっていましたね 私もホント行って良かったでした☆

(Translated by Google) Meiji Park in Nemuro can be reached in about 5 to 10 minutes by car from Nemuro Station. There are two parking lots, so you can park your car there and then take a leisurely stroll around the park. The most impressive thing about the park are the three silos. The park is quite large, and there is a bird watching hut and a pond where waterfowl can relax. (Original) 根室にある明治公園は、根室駅から車で、５〜１０分程で行くことが出来ます。駐車場も２箇所あるので、駐車場に車を停車した後、公園内をゆっくり散策出来ます。何と言っても３基あるサイロが印象的です。公園の規模はかなり大きく、バ―ドウォッチングの小屋、水鳥が寛ぐ池も有ります。

(Translated by Google) There's no entrance fee, and the park has a free parking lot, which is very convenient. The flowers and trees in the park are well-maintained, and a stroll through the park is refreshing and relaxing. The landmark is the three tall cylindrical barns, which are great for taking photos and checking in! (Original) 入園無料，公園有停車場，也是無料，停車很方便。公園裡的花草樹木維持的很好，在公園裡散步，心曠神怡，可以很放鬆。地標是很高的三個圓筒型穀倉，拍照打卡都很棒！

(Translated by Google) It is about 2km from JR Nemuro Station. A place of relaxation for the people of Nemuro. Many people seem to take their dogs for walks here. This place has been used as a ranch since the Kaitakushi Nemuro Livestock Farm was opened in 1875 (Meiji 8). The three silos were built around 1932-36 (Showa 7-11) when the ranch was run by Yushukai, a limited partnership company with ties to Shibusawa Eiichi. It has been designated a nationally registered tangible cultural property. There is a Pokémon manhole in the fountain plaza. Get a Baricool! (lol) (Original) JR根室駅から約2キロ程です。 根室市民の憩いの場。愛犬とお散歩している方も多いみたいですね。 ここは1875年（明治8年）に開拓史根室牧畜場が開設され以降、牧場として利用されておりました。 3基のサイロは渋沢栄一と関わりのある合資会社「有終会」が牧場を経営していた1932～36年頃（昭和7～11年）に建設。国の登録有形文化財に指定されております。 噴水広場にはポケモンマンホールが設置されております。バリコオルGETだぜ!(笑)

good scenery, or great viewpoint towards the Pacific. however, you have to prepare strong wind sometimes, especially winter time. pay attention to high waves splashs and slippy short trail, iced rocks.

It takes 15-20 mins walking from Hanasaki port bus stop, where the short cut is inside the shrine. Sea and stones are magnificent. Take care when the wave is huge.

This lighthouse is easily reached as it's serviced by a carpark. The stone wheel is interesting but not worth coming the distance to see it. Great if you are in the area!

Definitely enjoyed the place! We climbed onto the rocks formation, beautiful sunset. We enjoyed watching the waves lapping into the coastline.

Beautiful wave 🌊 sounds & amazing scenery for meditation and relaxation 👌

The rock formations were very cool and so were the waves! Can get pretty cold, but you are probably used to that already if you are in Hokkaido. Get in some selfies by the rock formations and the lighthouse!

Very nice view. We were amazed how nature created such a wheel.

Informative museum on the history of the four islands, Habomai, Shikotan, Kunashiri and Etorofu, including videos (albeit slightly outdated ones) showing the lives of the people who currently live there. The museum promotes friendship but also shows that the political status of the four islands, known as the Northern Territories in Japan and the Kuril islands in Russia, is still unresolved.

(Translated by Google) There is no admission fee and there is a lot of information, but because there are many related exhibition halls or buildings along the way, you can just choose one to learn about it. You don't need to go to every one of them to avoid feeling tired. If you come to the Northern Four Islands of the Nemuro Peninsula, you must understand the issues, so please be sure to take a look.

(Translated by Google) Apparently this is a place for interaction between Russian residents living on the Northern Territories and Japanese people, and before COVID-19, hundreds of Russians would visit here every year. There is even a place where you can experience a Japanese-style room. However, after the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine, exchanges have come to a complete halt, and there is apparently no prospect of them resuming. (Original) ここは北方４島に住んでいるロシア住民と日本人との交流の場だそうで、コロナ前までは年間数百名のロシア人がここに来ていたそうです。なので、日本の和室を体感できる場所もあり。 ところがコロナ禍を経てロシアのウクライナ侵略を契機にパッタリ交流は中断したままで、まったく再開の目処が立っていないそうです。

(Translated by Google) It's a place I've been interested in, but I didn't have a way to get there. It's a very impressive building. There's also a museum inside, which was well worth seeing. I also learned about the Northern Territories. We tend to think of it as something from the past, but even now, Russia is doing the same thing to other countries. For the sake of those who have lost part of their country and lost their homeland, as a Japanese citizen, I want to take a stand against this issue, and I want people all over the world to know about it. (Original) 気になっていましたが、行く術がなく行けなかった場所。とても立派な建物でした。中には資料館などもあり、見応えがありました。北方領土のことも学べました。過去の話と思いがちですが、今も、ロシアは他の国に同じ様なことをしています。私たちの国の一部を取られてしまい、故郷がなくなってしまった人たちのためにも、日本国民として、この問題に立ち向かいたいし、世界中のひとに知ってほしいと思いました。

(Translated by Google) It's a place where you can learn about the history of relations between Russia and Japan. It's also interesting because it introduces Russian culture. The facilities are impressive and expensive. (Original) ロシアと日本のかかわりの歴史が学べるところ。ロシアの文化も紹介されていて興味深いものでした。施設は立派でお金かかっています。

(Translated by Google) If the weather is good, you can see it on Kunashiri Island. It may not be possible to see it from Cape Nosappu, so this is sufficient. (Original) 国後島が天気が良ければ見ることが出来ます。納沙布岬でも見れない事があるのでこちらでじゅうぶんです。

(Translated by Google) Kitakata Primeval Flower Garden is a primeval garden that spreads out on the right hand side on the way from Nemuro Station to Cape Nosappu. Proceeding from the parking lot, you will come to a wooden entrance. In front of you, a boardwalk leads towards the gazebo, where about 10 ponies are grazing. The garden is quite vast, with seasonal flowers in bloom. Perhaps because it was a weekday afternoon when we visited, there was no one there and we were able to spend a relaxing time. (Original) 北方原生花園は、根室駅から納沙布岬に行く途中、右手に広がる原生園です。駐車場から進むと、木製の入口が有ります。正面には木道が東屋方向に続いており、１０頭程のポニーが放牧されています。園内はかなり広大で、季節の花々が咲いていました。訪れた日は平日の午後のせいか、誰もおらずゆっくりとした時間を過ごせます。

(Translated by Google) The end of August may not be the peak of the flowers, but there were some in bloom. There are no stairs and you can walk along the wooden path, so it's not difficult to see. I came here to see the horses, but they weren't within walking distance of the Primeval Flower Garden. I came back again because I wanted to see the horses up close. Be careful when you're near the sidewalk, as there is quite a bit of horse droppings. (Original) 8月末は花の盛りではないかも知れないが、咲いている花もあった。階段などもなく木の道を歩けるので、見るのは大変ではない。 馬が見たくて来たけど、原生花園内を歩いて行ける範囲にはいなかった。 馬を身近で見たくてまた来てしまいました。歩道の近くにいる時は糞が結構落ちているので気をつけて

(Translated by Google) On the way back to Nemuro from Cape Nosappu, we passed the northern side of the peninsula and were greeted by grasslands stretching as far as the eye could see. Along the way, we stopped to see the flower fields of the Kitakata Primeval Flower Garden. Ponies and horses were grazing in the garden, munching on the grass with gusto. After looking around, I was about to head back along the boardwalk when I heard a clicking sound coming from behind. I turned around to see the horse, who seemed to be begging for food and started tugging at my T-shirt. I frantically ran away and it gave up halfway through, but it was a rare experience and made for a fond memory. When I left the garden and looked back, I saw that the horse was begging again from another person, and I laughed, thinking that it was a repeat offender. (Original) 納沙布岬から根室に引き返す途中、半島の北側を通ると辺り一面見渡す限りの牧草地が続く。途中北方原生花園のお花畑を見に立ち寄った。 花園の中にポニーと馬が放牧されていて美味しそうに草を食んでいた。 見終えて木道を帰ろうとしたら後ろからパカパカと音が近づいてくる。振り向いたら馬が来てどうもご飯をおねだりしている様でTシャツを引っ張って来る。慌てて早歩きで逃げたら途中から諦めてくれたが、なかなか経験出来ない事でいい思い出になった。 花園を出て振り返ると、お馬さんまた別の人におねだりしてこれは常習犯だなと笑ってしまった

(Translated by Google) While touring Hokkaido, my companion wanted to see horses up close, so we were told about this place at the roadside station information center and stopped off on the way to Cape Nosappu. We were initially told that we would have to walk deep into the primeval flower garden for several minutes to see the horses, but we were able to see many of them from the parking area. There were also two temporary toilets, and the view of the Pacific Ocean and the flower garden was great, making it the perfect place for a short break. We'd like to stop by again if we have the chance. That's all. (Original) 北海道ツーリング中同行者が馬を間近で見たいとの要望で、道の駅の案内所で教えて頂き、納沙布岬の途中に立ち寄りました。 当初原生花園内を数十分奥まで歩かないと、馬が見れないとの情報でしたが、駐車スペースから多くの馬を見る事ができました。 また仮設ながらトイレも二つあって、太平洋と花園があり景色も良く小休止には最適でした。 また機会があれば、立ち寄りたいです。 以上

(Translated by Google) As soon as you enter, the horses come running towards you! Some of the horses were quite large and headed straight for you! If you look closely, you'll see that the horses on the pier where you are standing are also running towards you! There were more than 10 of them in total! They didn't bite me, but I was quite worried... They seemed to be coming to beg for food, but they said "see you later" and ran away! (lol) By all means, be sure to come inside the gate!! (Original) 中に入ると馬が走って集まって来ます！ 中にはかなりデカイ馬もいて、真っ先に向かって来ました！ よく見ると自分がいる桟橋上も、こちらに向かって走ってきます！ 総勢10頭以上！ かじられる事は無かったですが、大丈夫かな？とかなり心配になります… 餌をねだりに来てるようですが、またね〜と言って逃げ出しました！（笑） 是非とも、ゲート内に入ってみてください！！

(Translated by Google) It's free to visit. I visited during the Obon holiday, but it didn't seem to be in full bloom. There were ponies grazing and a huge amount of lost items on the trail, so it didn't feel very pleasant. (Original) 無料で見学出来ます お盆休みに訪れましたが、咲き乱れていると言う感じはしませんでした ポニーが放牧されており、おびただしい数の落とし物が遊歩道にあるので、あまりいい気分はしません

(Translated by Google) While I was sitting and playing with the pony, he started sniffing and licking me and even biting my leg, so be careful! ⚠️ Maybe it was just a coincidence, but the fun person was nearby, so I was able to play safely. ✨ (Original) 座り込んでポニーさんと遊んでたらクンクン、ぺろぺろして来て足甘噛みされたので注意が必要です⚠️ めちゃくちゃ楽し係の人がたまたまかも知れませんが近くに居てたので安心して遊べました✨

Though it's a small.museum, the displays and information are well presented and provided a lot of interesting information on the history of Nemuro and its wildlife.

(Translated by Google) Materials about the natural history of Nemuro and Ainu culture are on display. Admission is free. You can also get a stamp for the 100 famous castles here. The quality was so high that it was hard to believe it was free. The display of the Sakhalin Japan-Russia border marker stone was very interesting, along with its history. One side is written in Japanese, and the other side is written in Russian. I was able to see some valuable materials. It was wonderful. (Original) 根室の自然歴史、アイヌ文化についての資料が展示されております。入館無料です こちらで100名城のスタンプの設置もあります。 無料と思えないほどのクオリティの高さでした。 樺太日露国境標石の展示はその経緯と共にとても興味深かったです。 片面が日本語表記。裏面がロシア語表記です。 貴重な資料を見学することができました。 素晴らしかったです

so meaningful

(Translated by Google) This place was really great! It was fascinating to see everything from the Jomon period to the air raids on Nemuro! I learned a lot of things I didn't know, like Ainu culture and history, dairy centrifuges, undersea telephone cables to Kunashiri Island, and even lighthouse lenses! I learned about the size of sea otters in the wildlife exhibition room, and when I spotted three of them at Cape Kiritappu that same day, I was even more impressed because I had learned about them beforehand! My main purpose was to see the Sakhalin Boundary Stone, but there was so much more to see that I also got to see the Kurumaishi Natural Monument, making it a very satisfying experience. (Original) ココは非常に良かったです！ 縄文時代〜根室の空襲まで、とても興味深く見させてもらいました！ アイヌ文化や歴史、酪農の遠心分離機や国後島までの海底電話ケーブル、灯台のレンズまで知らない事も沢山ありました！ 生き物展示室でラッコの大きさを知り、その日に霧多布岬で3頭のラッコを目撃した時は、事前に学んでいたので感激度合が増しました！ サハリンの境界石目的でしたが、見所多くその後、天然記念物の車石も見て大満足の体験でした

(Translated by Google) This museum is free to enter. It offers a fascinating range of exhibits, from prehistoric artifacts to the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa periods. The highlight is the impressive collection of stuffed specimens of Hokkaido's native animals, including brown bears and white-tailed eagles. The brown bears are especially scary. 😨 The Sakhalin border marker between the Empire of Japan and the Russian Empire is an interesting exhibit, as it cannot be seen in present-day Japan, where there is no physical border. (Original) 入館料無料の資料館。 先史時代の遺物から明治、大正、昭和の展示物が楽しませてくれます。 ヒグマ、オジロワシなど、北海道に生息する数々の剥製が圧巻。特にヒグマは怖い😨 大日本帝国とロシア帝国の樺太国境標石は、物理的な国境線が無い今の日本では見る事ができないので、興味深い展示物です。

(Translated by Google) I learned that the Japan-Russia border marker stone from Sakhalin, which appears in Golden Kamuy, is the only one still standing in Japan, so I stopped by during a trip to Nemuro, eager to see it. Unfortunately, it's currently on loan to the Toyota City Museum, so I wasn't able to see it... If you're thinking of going just to see it, please be aware. The exhibition in Toyota will run from Saturday, October 18, 2025 to Sunday, March 29, 2026. It's best to inquire about when it will return to Nemuro and resume exhibition. Admission is free, and there were other interesting exhibits, so it might be worth a quick stop. (Original) ゴールデンカムイに登場する樺太の日露国境標石が国内に1基だけ現存していることを知り、ぜひ見てみたいと根室旅行の際に立ち寄りました。 が! なんと豊田市博物館に貸出中とのことで見ることできず… これ目当てで行こうかと思っておられる方はご注意ください。豊田での展示期間は2025年10月18日(土)～2026年3月29日(日)。いつ根室に戻ってきて展示再開するのかは問い合わせた方が良いです。 入館無料ですし、その他興味深い展示物もあったので、ちょっと立ち寄るのも良いかと思います。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by to get the 100 Famous Castles stamp. The museum was great. Don't just get the stamp, check out the museum too. It's free. There was a wide range of materials, including old everyday items and stuffed animals. There was also a stone monument marking the border that appeared in Golden Kamuy. It was very moving. (Original) 100名城スタンプで寄らせて頂きました。 資料館とても良かったです。 スタンプだけでなく資料館も見て下さい。 無料でした。 昔の生活用品や剥製と充実した資料ありました。ゴールデンカムイに出てきた国境線の石碑もありました。感動。

(Translated by Google) I only caught a glimpse of it from the national highway, but I was able to see some wild animals. I reaffirmed that Hokkaido is amazing. (Original) 国道からチラッと見ただけですが、野生動物に出会えました。 北海道は凄いなぁと再確認しました。

(Translated by Google) The room is small and has complete supplies. (Original) 房間細小 ，用品齊全 。

(Translated by Google) Stop by only when you have time (Original) 시간이 날 때만 들리세요

(Translated by Google) [Cape Ochiishi] A cape that juts out into the Pacific Ocean from the base of the Nemuro Peninsula special natural monument When the Dutch explorer Fries visited Nemuro in 1643, he saw Cape Ochiishi and introduced it to the world, naming it ``Cape Manshoft''. The coastline of Cape Ochiishi is a sheer cliff about 50m high, but the inland part of the cape is a flat plateau, and the Cape Ochiishi Wetland is a pure forest of Scots spruce. A walking path has been established to the tip of the cape, and the surrounding area is also known as the Sphagnum Wetland. In 1930, the Sakai azalea, which can be found in Sakhalin and the Kamchatka Peninsula, was discovered in Cape Ochiishi Wetland. As it is close to the easternmost tip of Hokkaido, the Cape Ochiishi Lighthouse is a major landmark for ships sailing in the Pacific Ocean. In 1994, the Cape Ochiishi Station of the National Institute for Environmental Studies' Global Environmental Research Center was built, which conducts weather observation and atmospheric sampling, separation, and measurement. Since October 1995, we have been observing and publishing data on the concentration of carbon dioxide and atmospheric trace components, which are thought to be related to global warming. Vehicles are not allowed inside the cape as it is an environmentally protected area, so you will have to park at a parking lot and walk along a wooden path about 2 km long. Truly the end of the world. A place that makes you feel like you're actually in Hokkaido. I want you to go there once before you die. The path is well-maintained, but there is quite a bit of walking, so be careful. Recommended level: ★★★★★ 2020.08.23 (Original) [落石岬] 根室半島の付け根から太平洋に突き出た岬 特別天然記念物 1643年にオランダの探検家フリースが根室を訪れた際、落石岬を見て「マンスホーフト(人頭)岬」と名付け世界に紹介した。 落石岬の海岸線は高さ約50mの断崖絶壁になっているが、岬の内陸部は平坦な台地になっており、アカエゾマツ純林の落石岬湿原が広がっている。 岬の先端まで散策道が整備されており、周辺は別名ミズゴケ湿原ともいわれる。 1930年に樺太やカムチャツカ半島にみられるサカイツツジが落石岬湿原で発見された。 北海道の最東端に近いため、太平洋を航行する船舶にとって大きな目印で落石岬灯台が設置されている。 1994年には、気象観測や大気の採取・分離・測定などを行う国立環境研究所地球環境研究センター落石岬ステーションが建設された。 1995年10月より地球温暖化に関連するとされる二酸化炭素の濃度や大気微量成分を観測しデータを公開している。 岬内は環境保全地域になっているため車両の乗り入れが禁止になっており、車止めに駐車して、2km程度の木道を歩くことになる。 まさに世界の果て。 北海道に来たと心から思える場所。 死ぬまでに一度行ってほしい。 道は整備されているがかなり歩くので注意。 おすすめ度:★★★★★ 2020.08.23

(Translated by Google) After 25 minutes of walking along the wooden path from the parking lot, the view suddenly opens and you can see Cape Ochiishi Lighthouse in the distance. From there, you will arrive at the cape in about 5 minutes. The cliff-top cape offers quite a view. You will have to walk the same distance on your way back, so you need to calculate the time accordingly. There was a wild deer. (Original) 駐車場から木道を歩いて25分、一気に視界が開けると先の方に落石岬灯台が見えます。そこから5分程で岬に到着です。断崖絶壁の岬はなかなかの眺めです。帰りも同じ距離を歩くので、時間は計算しておく必要があります。野生の鹿がいました。

(Translated by Google) You can get there in 20 minutes by walking along the wooden path. You can see the spectacular coastline. 😄 (Original) 木道をひらすら20分でたどり着きます。 絶景の海岸線が見られますよ。😄

(Translated by Google) Before we knew it, a new point at Cape Ochiishi was created. I previously commented on Cape Ochiishi Lighthouse, but since everyone has been evaluating and commenting on Cape Ochiishi itself by writing about the boardwalk and lighthouse, I think I should write about Cape Ochiishi as a whole here. I've been here twice and I hardly see anyone else. There is a bit of a scary atmosphere at dawn and dusk, so it can be scary to be alone. Of course, those times are when you can see some amazing scenery, so if possible, I'd like to go with a group of people. (Original) いつの間にか、また新たに落石岬のポイントが出来てます。 以前は落石岬灯台でコメントしましたが、皆さんが木道や灯台の書き込みで落石岬自体を評価、コメントしているので本来は此処に落石岬全体の書き込みをすれば良いと思います。 僕は2度、ここへ行きましたが、ほとんど他の人に会いません。 明け方や夕暮れ時は少し怖い雰囲気が有るので、独りでは物騒な気がします。 勿論、そんな時間帯が素晴らし景色に出会えるときなので、出来れば複数の人数で行きたいなぁ。

(Translated by Google) As you walk along the wooden path, you will suddenly see a red and white lighthouse standing alone in a green field and the blue Pacific Ocean. You can have a spectacular view all to yourself with no one else around. (Original) 木道を歩いていくと、突然広がる緑の原野にポツンと建つ紅白の灯台と、青く広がる太平洋。誰もいない絶景を独り占めできます。

(Translated by Google) It takes about 20 minutes to park the car and walk to the cape. There is no parking lot and there are probably not many people visiting. I only passed one pair on the way back and forth. You can have the spectacular view all to yourself ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) (Original) 車を停めて岬まで徒歩で20分程でしょうか。 駐車場もなく、訪れる人も少ないのでしょう。 往復の道のりで1組しかすれ違いませんでした。 絶景を独り占めできます( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

(Translated by Google) Cape Nosappu is good, but the endless feeling here is also amazing. It's about a 20 minute walk each way after parking your car, but I think it's worth visiting. I thought it would be good to visit at dusk or in winter next time. (Original) 納沙布岬も良いですが、ここの果て無し感も半端なく良いです。 車を停めてから片道２０分ほど歩きますが、訪れるに値打ちある場所だと思います。次回は夕暮れ時または冬に訪れるのも良いなと思いました。

A gift shop, tourist booth and stamp rally all in one. We also discovered the certificates one can collect for visiting Nemuro, and stamping the date on it. It looks very formal and official. There's toilets, benches for sitting and staff at the counter during opening hours. It's an easy stop by when exiting the JR station, as the building is right across the bus stop. There's also an owl statue at the entrance that you can touch for happiness. Very amusing!

I spoke with a very kind and patient man, that helped me find both an ebike for hire (at Tokiwa Inn) and where to eat Hanasaki crabs, despite us sharing little language. His friendliness was an immediate good start to my time in Nemuro, and reflects very positively on the town.

Awesome! Book a local tour of course A and course B at this Tourist Information Centre before 08:15am, the morning of the start of day tour. Make no regrets to book this local tour.

Come here to pick up a certificate of visit to the eastern most point of Japan! Otherwise, it also houses a modest visitor shop.

(Translated by Google) This is a bus terminal and souvenir shop located right outside Nemuro Station. There are two bus stops, and stop ② is at the back. The souvenir shop has a wide selection of Nemuro specialties. You can also get the 100 Famous Castles stamp from the Wonnemoto Castle Ruins and a certificate for reaching the easternmost point here. (Original) 根室駅出てすぐのバスターミナル兼お土産ショップです。 バス乗り場は2つあり、のりば②は裏側てす。 お土産ショップには根室の名産品が揃っています。また、ヲンネモトチャシ郡跡の100名城スタンプや最東端到達証明書もこちらでいただけます。

(Translated by Google) It is located in front of JR Nemuro Station. It houses a tourist information center, a souvenir shop, and also doubles as a bus terminal. You can get a certificate of the easternmost point of Japan, a stamp for 100 famous castles, and a certificate of reaching the easternmost JR station in Japan. Limited to one per person, the system allows you to stamp your commemorative stamp yourself and receive it without having to speak to a staff member. A very convenient information center for trips to Nemuro. (Original) JR根室駅の前にあります。 観光案内所やお土産関連の売店、またバスのターミナルも兼ねています。 日本最東端証明書、100名城のスタンプ、日本最東端の JR の駅到達証明書等もいただくことができます。 1人1枚限定ですが、スタッフさんに声をかけることなく、自分で記念スタンプを押して受け取ることができるシステムでした。 根室旅行にはとても便利なインフォメーションセンターです。

(Translated by Google) (August 26, 2025) One of the 100 Famous City Stamps locations, with stamps placed on a table for self-service. There's also a variety of information available for self-service, with clear numbered signs. The condition of the stamps here isn't great, with a noticeable light patch in the middle. I wonder if the stamps at other locations are in better condition. Some items were for sale, but unfortunately, the train and bus connections were so short that I couldn't browse them. Otherwise, I'd have bought a small souvenir and helped boost the local economy. After using the restroom, I rushed to catch the next bus. After all, transportation here is a no-brainer. The bus ticket machine is at the back, with one accepting credit cards. I bought a round-trip ticket to Cape Nosappu. (Original) (2025.8.26) 百大名城印章設置點之一，放在桌上自行取用。同時也設有多樣資料可自行拿取，有明顯的號碼牌指引。這邊名城印章的狀況我覺得不大好，中間有明顯的淺層色塊，不知道其他點的印章狀況會不會好一點。 有販售一些東西，可惜電車和公車的銜接時間非常短，我沒辦法慢慢看過，不然我是想買個小東西紀念一下，且順便振興個地方經濟。我只能在使用完廁所過後，便急著去趕下一段交通工具的發車時間。畢竟這邊拉交通，是完全不能有任何閃失。 公車的售票機在最裡面，有一台機器可使用信用卡購票。我直接購買到納沙布岬的來回車票。

(Translated by Google) A cape with a cute east lighthouse with a contrast of pink and white. Anyway, the view is good, and you can go down to the bottom and enjoy the spectacular view. (Original) ピンクと白のコントラストが可愛らしい東　灯台がある岬。 とにかく見晴らしが良く、下に下に降りてくことができ、絶景を堪能できる。

(Translated by Google) A place where you want to see the cliffs, Kuruma stones, and lighthouses. (Original) 崖と車石と灯台を見て欲しい場所。

(Translated by Google) The view of the Pacific Ocean from Cape Hanasaki is also beautiful. (Original) 花咲岬から望む太平洋の景色も綺麗です。

(Translated by Google) beautiful! (Original) 美！

(Translated by Google) It was a spectacular view🎵 (Original) 絶景でした🎵
