Cape Notsuke

Japanese: 野付崎 - のつけさき

A sand spit that juts out into the Nemuro Strait in eastern Hokkaido. It is a typical branching sand spit in Japan, with many branches extending toward Notsuke Bay on the west coast. It stretches from its base at Ponnousi in Shibetsu Town in a southeasterly direction, about 28 kilometers to its tip at Cape Notsuke, with an elevation of less than 6 meters and a width of 130 meters at its narrowest point. Most of the sand spit is covered with grassland and marshes, but there are also sparse forests of Quercus mizunara and Betula ermanii, and on the branching sand spit near the tip is Todowara, where the dead fir trees create a strange sight. There is a road from the base to Cape Ryujin, but during the tourist season in summer, an irregular ferry route connects the Odaitou settlement with Todowara. It is part of the Notsuke Furen Prefectural Natural Park. In addition, Notsuke Peninsula, along with Notsuke Bay, became a Ramsar Convention registered wetland in 2005.

Cape Notsuke
A typical branching sand spit jutting out into the Nemuro Strait. Most of it is covered by grasslands and marshes, and the area still retains its original landscapes, including the Todowara (Todo Plain) where dead fir trees grow, and a primeval flower garden. "Notsuke" comes from the Ainu word "Nokkeu (chin)." It was registered as a Ramsar wetland in 2005 (Heisei 17).

Cape Notsuke

Notsuke Bay
An inland bay separated from the Nemuro Strait by Cape Notsuke. It is also called Odaitai-numa. The water is only about 5m deep at its deepest point, and fixed net fishing for shrimp, flounder, and sillago is carried out here. The sight of shrimp fishing boats floating with their white sails spread is a typical sight in Notsuke Bay. In 2005, it became a Ramsar Convention registered wetland.

Notsuke Bay

Todowara
The forest of Sakhalin fir trees died due to subsidence and seawater infiltration, leaving behind a strange sight of weathered giant trees. Seawater erosion is still ongoing. In the summer, tourist boats operate between Odaito Port and Todowara. Betsukai Town, Notsuke District, Hokkaido © Betsukai Town ">

Japanese:

北海道東部で根室(ねむろ)海峡に突出する砂嘴(さし)。日本の代表的な分岐砂嘴で、西岸の野付湾に向かって多くの分枝を出している。基部の標津町(しべつちょう)ポンノウシから南東方向に延び先端の野付岬まで約28キロメートル、標高6メートル以下、幅はもっとも狭い所で130メートル。砂嘴の大部分は草原と湿原で占められるが、ミズナラやダケカンバの疎林もあり、先端部に近い分岐砂嘴にトドマツが立ち枯れた風景が奇観を呈するトドワラ（トド原）がある。基部から竜神(りゅうじん)崎までは自動車道路があるが、観光シーズンの夏期には不定期航路が尾岱沼(おだいとう)集落とトドワラを結ぶ。野付風蓮(ふうれん)道立自然公園の一部。なお、野付半島は野付湾とともに2005年（平成17）に、ラムサール条約登録湿地となった。
