A town of sea urchin, with a Shakotan Blue coast lined by unique rocks.
Population：1,700
Located in the northwestern part of the Shakotan Peninsula, the area boasts spectacular views of the clear blue sea, known as "Shakotan Blue," and a coastline dotted with unique rock formations. The scenery from the three major capes—Cape Kamui, Cape Shakotan, and Cape Ogon—is particularly captivating for many visitors. You can enjoy a casual stroll along the well-maintained walking trails or a hike while feeling the sea breeze.
Many people visit to taste the sea urchin, which is in season from June to August. Additionally, "Hamanabe," a fisherman's hot pot made with fish caught in the harsh winter, is quietly gaining popularity.
