Question: Which country is closest to Japan? South Korea? China? The answer is Russia. Only 3.7 km from Shell Island(Kaigara Jima), illegally occupied by Russia (former Soviet Union) since August 1945. It's not easy to see Shell Island, but you can easily spot the very flat Crystal Island (Suisho Jima), 7km away from Japan. All visitors to Hokkaido should visit Cape Nosappu and know that there are many dangers of Japan being invaded by Russia.

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.

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.

A great place to visit for its history and the meaning it has for Japanese people for 2 reasons: - The 4 islands in front of the cape were occupied by Russians after the WWII and never returned - the Easternmost point of Japan The landscape itself is nothing very special, there are more majestic capes in Hokkaido.

This place is obviously special for Japan, but less for the eyes. Especially on a extremely rainy day. You can shelter in the little hut just behind the lighthouse to avoid being turned into dust by a lighting.
