It is a cape jutting out into the Sea of Okhotsk, with only a lighthouse and an office at its tip. From here you can see Lake Notoro and the coast of Tokoro Town to the west, the Sea of Okhotsk to the north, and the distant Shiretoko mountain range to the east. In winter, you can see drift ice earlier than anywhere in Abashiri, and the views are amazing. Don't forget to bring warm clothes in winter.

[Cape Notoro at night]
It's pitch black at night all year round, so on sunny days it's the best spot to take pictures of the stars. On some days you can even see a lot of shooting stars. It's a good idea to bring a light to illuminate your feet while you're moving around.
However, please be aware that there are many wild animals such as Ezo deer and red foxes that appear in the area.
