A cape on the northeastern tip of the Shakotan Peninsula in western Hokkaido. It faces Cape Kamui at the northwestern tip of the peninsula. It faces the Sea of Japan with steep cliffs 120 meters above sea level, and the entire cape area displays a spectacular marine eroded topography. On the eastern side of the cape is the unmanned Demisaki Lighthouse. Reefs and subreefs are scattered in the water below the cape. There is a promenade that goes around the cape, which is part of the Niseko-Shakotan-Otaru Coast Quasi-National Park.
