Nemuro Peninsula - Nemurohanto

Japanese: 根室半島 - ねむろはんとう
Nemuro Peninsula - Nemurohanto

A peninsula jutting out into the Pacific Ocean in eastern Hokkaido. It belongs to Nemuro City and is also called the Hanasaki Peninsula. Cape Nosappu at the tip of the peninsula faces the Habomai Islands across the Goyoumai Strait. It is 28 kilometers long, 4 to 8 kilometers wide, and 40 to 60 meters above sea level. It is formed of a flat, gently undulating plateau, and residual lakes such as Onne-numa, Chobushi-numa, and Nanbu-numa are distributed in the alluvial plains of the short river basins. The coastline is complex and varied, consisting of agglomerate and conglomerate. Numerous reefs, including Yururi Island and Moyururi Island, are distributed around the peninsula. Nemuro City and Port are located on the northern coast of the central part of the peninsula, and Hanasaki Port is located on the southern coast. These cities serve as bases for offshore and deep-sea fishing, and the coastal area is dotted with fishing villages for kelp, wakame, and sea urchin.
