Erimo

Erimo combines a wind-exposed Pacific headland with the quieter routines of a small Hokkaido town in a way that reflects its position at the southern end of the Hidaka Mountains. Cape Erimo projects into the Pacific Ocean, where coastal cliffs, offshore rocks and frequent strong winds give the shore a markedly open character. The cape is also known as a resting area for harbour seals, which can be observed from land at appropriate times. At Cape Erimo, the Kaze no Yakata wind museum interprets the area's famously forceful weather, while the Erimo Cape Lighthouse is a familiar coastal marker. The town lies on the Hidaka coast, a region associated with Japan's thoroughbred horse-breeding country farther north.
