Cape Shirakami

Japanese: 白神岬 - しらかみみさき
Cape Shirakami

A cape at the southern tip of the Matsumae Peninsula, in the southwest of the Oshima Peninsula in southwest Hokkaido. It belongs to Matsumae Town. It faces Tappizaki in Aomori Prefecture at a distance of about 20 kilometers, and the area between the two capes is the western entrance to the Tsugaru Strait. The nearby coast forms a 50-meter sea cliff, and at its tip is a lighthouse built in 1888 (Meiji 21). National Route 228 passes along the coast, and although the former Japanese National Railway Matsumae Line has been abolished, it passed through the Shirakami Tunnel. The surrounding area is part of the Matsumae Yagoshi Prefectural Natural Park.
