Cape Nosappu
Cape Nosappu(Nạp sa bố giáp,Nosappu-misaki)is a point on theNemuro Peninsula,Nemuro,Japan,[1]which is the easternmost point inHokkaidō.It is also the easternmost point in Japan which is open to the public. It is located where the waters from thePacific Oceanmeet those from theSea of Okhotsk.TheCape Nosappu Lighthouseis the oldest in Hokkaidō, built in 1872.[2]
The cape is very close to theHabomai Archipelago,which is administered byRussia.The closest island,SignalnyRock, is just 3.7 km away. As such, Russianpatrol boatsfrequently appear on the strait. However, Japan claims the sovereignty over these islands. (SeeKuril Islands dispute.)[3]Consequently, the cape houses a lot of monuments dealing with Japanese claims on the territories, such as the House of Nostalgia for the Homeland, the Bridge on the Four Islands, and others.
