Cape Erimo

[Cape Erimo]

Hi everyone, I’m Yuka. 

Today, I’d like to introduce Cape Erimo. It is a wonderful place that is a tourist destination in Hokkaido and my hometown.

Do you know Cape Erimo? Cape Erimo belongs to the town of Erimo, Hokkaido. If you look at Hokkaido like a diamond, it is located in the lower corner. Cape Erimo is very windy, with winds of more than 260 days at 10 meters per second. It is home to seals that are designated as near threatened species.

There is a facility called “Kaze-no-Yakata” on Cape Erimo. You'll find wind-related exhibits, a corner where you can experience strong winds, and information about seal ecology there. There is also a telescope, so please look for seals!

 

By the way, Do you know the song “Cape Erimo” sung by Shinichi Mori? There is a famous phrase “Spring in Erimo is nothing”. In addition to this famous "Cape Erimo", there is also "Cape Erimo" sung by Chiyoko Shimakura. There are also two songs about Cape Erimo.

That’s all for today. I highly recommend you go to Cape Erimo. Thank you for reading this blog.
