Cape Chikiu
|
Also known as Cape Chikyu. A cape located at the southernmost tip of the Etomo Peninsula, which juts out into the Pacific Ocean in southwest Hokkaido. The name comes from the Ainu word Chikepu (meaning cliff). Continuing from Kongohama Beach, there is a series of sea cliffs made of andesite and agglomerate, called Kinbyobu or Golden Cliff. There is a lighthouse, fog signal station, and radio direction signal station, which were installed in 1920. It is one of the "New Eight Views of Muroran".
