Cape Shirepa

Fairly remote part of Hokkaido but in my opinion, one of the best Cape hikes in Hokkaido, reachable at the end of a gravel road where there's a carpark.

(Translated by Google) If you are going by car, you should be prepared to some extent as there is a gravel road for about 3km until you get to the parking lot at the cape. After arriving at the parking lot, you will be able to head towards the cape on foot. I'm just going to push through the grassland. It takes about 15 minutes from the parking lot to the tip of the cape. By the way, there are no fences along the way, so proceed at your own risk. When you finally arrive, you will be greeted by a very satisfying landscape. It's a treasured place with no tourists, so if you're interested, please check it out! I don't think you will regret it. (Original) 行く方は岬の駐車場に行くまで3キロほど砂利道が続くので車で行く人はある程度覚悟をもって行くべきです。 また駐車場に着いた後は徒歩で岬を目指すことになります。ひたすら草原を突き進んで行きます。岬の先端までは駐車場から約15分程度。ちなみに道中は柵など一切ないので自己責任で判断し進んで下さい。 ようやくたどり着いた先には大満足の風景が広がっています。 観光客も一切いない秘蔵の場所ですので興味ある方は是非どうぞ！ 後悔はしないと思います。

(Translated by Google) It takes about an hour round trip. There are also shin-high grass patches in some places. However, the view beyond is amazing, so it's definitely worth a visit. (Original) 往復1時間位かかります。また、スネの高さほどある草むらも場所によってはあります。しかし、その向こうの景観はバツグンなので是非行ってみて下さい

(Translated by Google) A cape with an open, yet remote feel, covered with a carpet of grass. A landscape unlike anything else in Japan. The road to the cape has some unpaved sections, but it is well-maintained, so driving is not particularly difficult. Allow about an hour to go from the parking lot to the tip of the cape and back. There are no particularly steep roads, and no special equipment is required. Sneakers should be fine. There is no obstruction and the wind is strong, so be careful not to let your hat blow away. It is difficult to tell where the tip is, and there are no signs. If you follow the footprints, you should be able to get around nicely. The cape is so wide that the population density is low, making it a great place to stroll around at your leisure. (Original) 草の絨毯が広がる、開放的でありつつも最果ての趣を持つ岬。日本離れした景観。 岬へ向かう道路は未舗装区間がありますが、よく整備された道ですので、特に運転に困難は感じないと思います。駐車場から岬の突端まで行って帰って一時間くらいは確保したいです。 特に険しい道はありませんし、特別な装備も必要ないです。スニーカーであれば大丈夫程度。遮るものが無く風が強いので、帽子など吹き飛ばされないように気を付けて。どこが突端かわかりにくく、道案内もありません。踏み跡を辿っていけばいい感じに巡れると思います。 とにかく広い岬ですので人口密度も薄く、のんびりと散策できます。

(Translated by Google) There are many capes in the area, but this one might have the most spectacular views! It's also amazing to see sea otters and seals 🦦🦭🤣 I definitely recommend going on a sunny day! ⚠️Be careful on motorcycles, as the gravel road to the parking lot 🅿️ continues for several kilometers. (Original) 周りには岬がたくさんあるが、ここの絶景は1番かも知れない　ラッコやアザラシ🦦🦭も観られるのも凄い🤣 絶対に晴れた日に行くのをオススメ！ ⚠️駐車場🅿️まで砂利道が数キロ続くのでバイクは注意
