Wakkanai is the northernmost city in Hokkaido, and the "most northern" landmark is in the northeastern tip of Wakkanai. The first day of the new year is held here.
In the sunny days, the beach looks like a mirror and looks like clouds. It is very beautiful. Zonggu has a triangular monument that symbolizes the North Star, and on the left is the statue of the explorer's palace in the Edo period. When the weather is fine, you can see the snowy mountains in front of you, the Russian island of Sakhalin. Not far from the right, there is a music tablet with the score of the song "Zong Guzhen". Some people will play automatically when they approach, and the melody will float in the wind, making the atmosphere a bit embarrassing.
At the souvenir shop, I bought a certificate for the arrival of the northernmost end. As long as 100 yen, it is really cheap and good~ I will print the date of the visit on the spot, and I can buy a postcard and put it on the medal. There are various "most northern ends" nearby, such as the northernmost store, the northernmost restaurant, the northernmost mailbox, and even the northernmost washroom...
