Wakkanai, the northernmost city in Japan, offers a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural interest. It's a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, with opportunities to see seals, birds, and other marine life, particularly at Rishiri Island and Rebun Island. The city also gives a glimpse into the Ainu culture through museums and Ainu village replicas. Nature lovers would appreciate Cape Noshappu for its serene landscapes and Cape Soya, the northernmost point of Japan, for its stunning panoramic views and monuments. Though not very large-scale, there is a variety of restaurants offering delicious seafood, particularly the local specialty, sea urchin. However, activities could be more limited compared to other larger and tourist-hyped cities in Japan.
