Commonly known as "Cape Soya Peace Park" also called, this Cape Soya Park was opened in Shōwa 41 (1966) December, utilizing approximately 3.8 hectares of land.
At the time of its opening, it was a small-scale park that had only a lighthouse, a naval watchtower, a monument of the northernmost point carved into a stone pillar, and a few shops.
However, along with the increase of tourists, in Shōwa 43 (1968), besides "The Monument of Japan's Northernmost Point" being rebuilt, "Akebono Statue" was erected on a high ground, and so on, the development as a "tourist attraction" progressed, and besides the new establishment of parking lots, bus lanes, and sidewalks, "Standing Statue of Mamiya Rinzō", "Cape Soya Music Monument", "Cape Soya Observation Deck", etc. were successively constructed, and after the Shōwa 53 (1983) Korean Air Incident, "Prayer Tower" and "Miyazawa Kenji Literary Monument" were completed.
In Shōwa 63 (1988), the development of the entire surrounding area of "The Monument of Japan's Northernmost Point" was carried out, and it came to be its current appearance that had greatly transformed.
Also, the "Armeria" flowers that came to be seen everywhere, their beginning was that everyone from the women's division of the Sōya Fisheries Cooperative Association planted them, and now every year in summer, beautiful flowers completely fill the park.
It has also become a Wakkanai Footpath Course, and experiences such as reaching the goal by passing through the "White Road" paved with scallop shells while enjoying the Hokkaido Heritage, "Periglacial Landforms of Sōya Hills" from Cape Soya Park, etc. can also be done.
