Northern Cape

Perched at the northernmost tip of the Tsugaru Peninsula, Tappizaki offers sweeping views across the Tsugaru Strait to Hokkaido. Known for its year-round strong winds, the cape is home to the Tappizaki Lighthouse, recognized among Japan’s top 50 lighthouses. Nearby, visitors can explore the unique "Staircase National Route 339," a 362-step pedestrian-only highway. The area also features monuments dedicated to literary figures like Osamu Dazai. The Seikan Tunnel Memorial Museum offers insights into the engineering of the undersea tunnel connecting Honshu and Hokkaido. Tappizaki is a destination where natural beauty and cultural heritage converge.
