霧多布岬 Kiritappu-misaki Cape Kiritappu

Jp En


Cape Kiritappu, or formally named Cape Tofutsu, is at the eastern tip of Kiritappu Peninsula, which was formed when the plateau-type island with an elevation of 40 to 60 meters joined the land area. As the kanji representing “fog (霧)” is used for the name “Kiritappu (霧多布),” fog often rises in the area around the cape due to the sea fog from the Pacific Ocean. You must be careful because you will be obliterated by the fog especially in summer. Rough waves of the Pacific Ocean break against the sheer cliffs and rocky coast below your eyes. As contrasted to Cape Azechi on the western tip of the peninsula, which has a gentle and elegant feminine-like coastline, this cape is sometimes referred to as a male cape. Still, when summer comes, Yezo daylilies bloom on this desolated plateau, over which thick fog floats from the ocean and creates a fantastic landscape.
