Nemuro City, Japan's easternmost city, sits at the far tip of Hokkaido and is home to Cape Nosappu — the easternmost point of Japan's main islands. From Cape Nosappu, the disputed Northern Territories islands are visible across the narrow straits, making it a uniquely poignant destination of historical and geopolitical significance. A thriving fishing port, Nemuro lands abundant seafood including the prized Hanasaki crab, Pacific saury, and salmon. Local specialties like Hanasaki crab rice bowls and Escalop (rice with demi-glace sauce) are flavors you can only find here. The Kiritappu Wetlands, the panoramic Pacific views from the JR Hanasaki Line, and Nosappu's misty seascapes all capture the raw, end-of-the-world atmosphere that makes Nemuro unforgettable.
