Cape Tears

It is a cape near the border between Hamanaka-cho and Akkeshi-cho, with a scarp of several 10m.

In addition, on the left towards the sea, a strange rock "standing rock" is also visible.

Cape Drifu

It is officially the name of the plateau that forms the cape. As its name suggests, it is often covered with fog.

In front of the cape, there is Cape Kiritafu Observation Deck, where you can see the cape that runs out to the sea.
