Ofuyu Cape

Ofuyu Cape marks the point where the Shokan mountains plunge into the Sea of Japan on Ezo's western coast. Long cliffs line the shore, leaving the settlement of Ofuyu isolated by land for much of its history. Together with Motta and Kamui, the cape was counted among the formidable headlands of western Ezo. Across the water lie the Shakotan Peninsula and islands farther north.
