Cape Puyuni, also known as Puyuni Point, is a scenic spot located along the road from Utoro to the Shiretoko Nature Center in Hokkaido. This vantage point offers panoramic views of the town of Utoro, the Sea of Okhotsk, and, during winter, the drift ice. It's particularly famous for its stunning sunsets, but the sunrise views over the drift ice are equally captivating. The cape is easily accessible by car, though parking is limited, so visitors should be mindful of where they park. Be aware of the possibility of encountering Ezo deer in the area. It's a must-visit for those exploring the Shiretoko Peninsula.
