First Sunrise (Earth Cape)

Event Overview

A scenic spot that was voted first place in "Hokkaido's Nature 100 Selection" and "New Japan's 100 Tourist Spots." It is a cape that juts out into the Pacific Ocean from the southernmost tip of the Etomo Peninsula, and the view from the observation deck located about 140 meters above sea level is truly spectacular. A grand panorama unfolds, allowing you to feel the curvature of the Earth, and on clear days, you can see far-off Mount Komagatake and the Shimokita Peninsula in Aomori Prefecture.
