#NovemberDestinations2025 Stepping into Cape Chikyu in Muroran City, Hokkaido, you'll immediately understand why it's considered one of the most voted scenic spots in Japan's 100 Views. Standing on the 120-meter-high cliffside observation deck, your view opens up unreservedly to the Pacific Ocean, an endless expanse of azure blue. It's said to be the place where you can clearly feel the Earth's roundness, its name deeply rooted in the magnificent seamless blend of sea and sky. The pure white lighthouse stands steadfastly on the cliff edge, a striking contrast to the vast ocean view of Fubuki Bay below. Bring your camera; the scenery here is absolutely photographic. Don't forget to ring the "Bell of Happiness" for blessings, letting the sea breeze carry away all your worries. Whether gazing at Komagatake under a clear sky or enjoying the mystical atmosphere shrouded in mist during autumn and winter, Cape Chikyu is beautiful in every season. The cape boasts well-planned walking trails with rest areas, perfect for couples or families to slow down and quietly experience the power of nature. Although admission is free, this is definitely a popular tourist destination. It's recommended to drive along the coastline and visit a heartwarming handmade soba noodle restaurant in the town of Muroran along the way, making for a perfect ending to your trip. If you're taking public transportation, you can reach the destination by bus from Muroran Station; transportation is quite convenient.

Sokuryozan: The Day and Night of Shiratori Bridge. Sokuryozan, a ridge mountain standing at just 199.4 meters above sea level, is rightfully the crown jewel of Muroran's Eight Scenic Spots. Not only is it a triangulation point for city surveying, but it also serves as a 'rooftop' offering a breathtaking panoramic view of Muroran. Here, you can enjoy an unobstructed 360-degree view of Muroran Port, showcasing its charm as a natural harbor and coastal industrial hub. The observation deck is perfectly situated, offering expansive views on clear days that are truly refreshing. Nearby, you can admire the graceful curves of Shiratori Bridge, towering wind turbines nestled in the mountains, and the urban landscape below. In the distance, you can spot the majestic peaks of Mount Yotei, Mount Komagatake, and Cape Esan. Especially at night, the illuminated Shiratori Bridge, the twinkling lights of factories, and the city’s myriad lights create a dazzling nightscape, rivaling even Nagasaki’s Mount Inasa. Perhaps due to its location deep within a residential area, this spot remains relatively uncrowded, allowing visitors to enjoy its tranquility and grandeur in peace. 🚗 Tips for Reaching the Summit To easily access this scenic haven, driving or renting a car is recommended. While it’s possible to reach the summit with a 30-minute walk from Muroran Station, the route involves navigating narrow and steep residential streets. Particularly for night views, driving is safer and more convenient due to low visibility. There’s a small parking lot with about six spaces located below the observation deck. Note that from the parking lot to the summit observation deck, you’ll need to climb approximately 100 steps. Whether visiting during the day or night, be sure to watch your step for safety. For those looking to avoid peak crowds, visiting early in the morning is recommended to fully embrace the enchanting 360-degree scenery.

Muroran Yakitori is called Yakitori, but it is pork, not chicken!! It was very delicious to eat it with a thick sauce and mustard👍️ My favorite is the quail eggs grilled with the shell on.

Cape Chikyu is located in Mokoinami-machi, Muroran City, Hokkaido. The scenic spot ranks first among the "Top 100 Natural Scenic Spots in Hokkaido" and has a cliff that is 14 kilometers long and about 100 meters high. The Cape Chikumi Lighthouse was officially put into operation on April 1, 1920, and has a history of over 100 years. It is located on a cliff 130 meters above sea level, and the light can reach a range of 44 kilometers! Cape Earth is surrounded by the sea on three sides. Standing on the cliff and looking out at the Pacific Ocean, you can really feel that the earth is round, especially when you see the ships moving slowly forward, getting smaller and smaller until they disappear! The scenery here is beautiful. Looking at the blue sea makes people feel relaxed. It is worth seeing! Tips: Since it is at the beach, the wind can be very strong at times, so it is recommended to wear a hat or hooded clothing for protection! #AdventurousTraveler #Hokkaido #JapanTravel

Itanki Beach is famous for its "singing sand," which makes a squeaking sound when you walk on it as the sand rubs against itself. It's one of the popular walking spots for locals, and has been used as a location for many dramas and movies. Muroran has many scenic spots, so it's well worth staying overnight just to take a leisurely drive around the scenic spots.

I rang the Bell of Happiness near the Cape Chikyu Lighthouse in Muroran. Ringing the bell amidst the vast expanses of earth and sea is an indescribable feeling. The sound of the bell is not very loud, but the sound that spreads through the silence is truly beautiful. The scenery was also truly spectacular. Well worth a visit. #SpectacularView

I went to Tokachi Chuo Ohashi (Shiratori Ohashi), a 772.5m-long bridge that spans the Tokachi River, which flows along the border between Otofuke Town and Makubetsu Town in Hokkaido. It's known as a place where swans gather in winter, and the ropes stretched across the beautiful cable-stayed bridge resemble swan wings, which is why it's nicknamed the Shiratori Ohashi! There were lots of swans, and I was able to see a view that I don't usually get to see! There's also Tokachi Onsen right next to the bridge, so I'd like to go to the onsen next time! Please do go and check it out! #Hokkaido #Tokachi Ohashi #Shiratori Ohashi #Onsen #Supporting Tourism

This is the best spot in Otaru with a spectacular view, located on the way to the resort hotel Neuschloss Otaru, which is in a great location. There is also a place that is directly accessible from the Otaru Aquarium, so if you are in the area, be sure to visit it as well. It seems that they don't come here much these days, but the reef, commonly known as "Todo Rock," is literally famous for the sea lions that come here at certain times of the year. [Access] A 10-minute walk from the Otaru Aquarium. There is space to park a few cars at the observation deck. The view is not very good on the way up, so please be careful of cars coming down from the Neuschloss side. #Hokkaido #Seaside scenery #Couple trip #Amazing nature #Observation deck #Support tourism #Spectacular view

🌏 Cape Chikyu: Where the Horizon Curves Across Hokkaido 🌊✨ If you’ve ever wanted proof the Earth is round, Cape Chikyu is your spot! Perched atop dramatic cliffs, this breathtaking cape lets you gaze at a sweeping ocean view so wide, you can actually spot the curve of our planet on a clear day. Perfect for nature lovers, photographers, or anyone who loves those “edge of the world” feelings. 🗺️ Recommended Route: Drive or take a local bus from Muroran Station—once you arrive, a short hillside path leads you directly up to the famous Cape Chikyu Observatory. The trail is easy and gives way to panoramic vistas the higher you climb. 📸 Must-Do Experiences & Photo Spots: Snap a classic “standing at the edge” photo at the Observatory deck for that flawless “I can see the world’s curve!” shot. Try shooting at sunrise or late afternoon for dreamy gold lighting—the ocean horizon looks endless. Don’t forget those detail shots of wildflowers along the path and the serene lighthouse perched dramatically on the cliff. 🛎️ Practical Visiting Tips: Cape Chikyu is open year-round and 24/7, so visit at off-peak times (early morning or evening) for peace and softer light. Bring a light jacket—even in summer, the wind up here can be brisk! If you’re chasing visibility of the earth’s roundness, choose one of Hokkaido’s famously clear days. ⚠️ Precautions: Trails and the terrace can get slippery in rain or after snow—wear sturdy shoes. There are some sections without guardrails, so keep extra safe near drop-offs. #Muroran #CapeChikyu #HokkaidoViews #JapanTravel #NatureLover

If you could only choose one Japanese seaside city, which would you choose? ☕️ Do you prefer cafes, Western-style mansions, and a refined lifestyle? ⛪️ Do you love old streets, warehouses, and a retro atmosphere? 🌿 Or perhaps you prefer mountains, sea, hot springs, and a slower pace of life? ⚙️ Or maybe you just love steel, ports, and an industrial feel? Japanese coastal cities are truly fascinating 🌅 Even though it's all about the sea, they offer completely different experiences.
