Ochiishi Cape

Ochiishi Cape projects into the Pacific near the base of the Nemuro Peninsula. A raised bog and forest of Sakhalin spruce occupy its windswept plateau; the trees grow shorter and thinner toward the center of the wetland. The coast around Ochiishi is frequently wrapped in fog. Sphagnum moss and low shrubs thrive in the damp ground, giving the cape a landscape distinct from the open sea beyond it.
