About Shirakami Misaki
Shirakami Misaki is a natural site. Location: Matsumae Chō, Matsumae-gun.
Cape Shirakami (白神岬, Shirakami-misaki) is a cape located on the southernmost tip of the Oshima Peninsula in Matsumae, Hokkaidō, Japan. It is the southernmost point of Hokkaidō. There are rugged, uniquely shaped rocks and sea cliffs. From the peak, on clear days, the view extends to Cape Tappi, the northernmost point on the Tsugaru Peninsula across the shore. During spring and autumn, this area becomes a resting spot for migrating birds and is a recommended area for bird watchers to visit.
