All Reviews of Cape Soya

I finally had the chance to stand at the northernmost tip of this island—Cape Soya. For travelers who love Japan, this is a sacred place you have to visit at least once in your lifetime.

The triangular monument standing at the meeting point of sea and sky was inspired by a ray of the North Star, a symbol of the north, sharply and firmly pointing due north.

Looking out from here, there’s a real sense of being at the edge of the world. The moment I stepped onto this land, the coordinates on the map finally became real.

I truly can’t put into words how moved I felt in that moment.

Japan’s northernmost point is really a meaningful place to visit. If you come here, you definitely have to take a photo.

This is one of those places that’s like, “once is enough, but you’d regret it if you never came.”

From the cape, you get a breathtaking view of the vast Soya Strait and the endless ocean. The scenery is truly stunning.

If you go to Hokkaido, you have to visit the northernmost point at least once.

It was cloudy when I went, but I still felt a sense of accomplishment!

I also recommend the 'White Road' near the cape, which runs through the Soya Hills. The unpaved road covered with scallop shells creates an amazing contrast with the scenery—definitely an Instagram-worthy spot.
