The Crab Claw Object is a striking landmark in Monbetsu, Hokkaido, symbolizing the city's connection to the sea and its famous crab. This massive sculpture, standing at 12 meters tall, was originally displayed at sea for 15 years before being moved to its current location near the Mombetsu Roadside Station. It's an unmissable photo opportunity and a testament to the region's maritime identity. Visitors can easily access the site and enjoy the views of the Sea of Okhotsk. The best time to visit is during the day to fully appreciate the scale and detail of the sculpture.
