Nemuro: Hanasaki Port
Hanasaki Port lies along the Pacific coast of the Nemuro Peninsula, where a low, open shoreline meets the waters off eastern Hokkaido. This working harbour is part of Nemuro’s fishing economy, with protected basins, quays and fish-processing buildings forming a compact waterfront settlement. Its name is preserved in hanasaki-gani, the local Hanasaki crab, a regional seafood associated with the waters around Nemuro. The port places visitors close to the peninsula’s seaward edge, while Nemuro city extends north across the same narrow landmass. Farther east, the Nemuro Strait separates Hokkaido from the southern Kuril Islands, underlining the area’s position at Japan’s northeastern edge.

Cape Nosappu, at the peninsula’s eastern tip, is Japan’s easternmost point accessible to the public; the nearby Habomai Islands are visible in clear conditions. Fishing has long defined local life, and seasonal seafood remains central to Nemuro’s identity, from saury to salmon and crab.
