A cape in Wakkanai City, at the northern tip of Hokkaido. It faces Cape Soya across Soya Bay. It is made up of the Wakkanai Formation, which is composed of hard shale and mudstone from the Miocene Tertiary Period, and has three clearly defined coastal terraces, with a continuous sea-eroded platform less than three meters above sea level. Below sea level, a wave-cut platform four meters deep extends 500 meters offshore, forming a rocky beach. At the tip, there is a 42.7-meter-tall lighthouse, as well as the Noshappu Cold Current Aquarium and the Youth Science Museum, and on the terrace behind it is a radar station for the Self-Defense Forces.
