Cape Kirakotan
The name Cape Kirakotan originates from the time when the Kushiro Marsh was ocean and Kirakotan was actually a cape. Located at the innermost point of the Kushiro Marsh, below spreads a lowland landscape patterned with marsh and spring water seeping from the hilly area. The tip of Cape Kirakotan, which is designated as a National Natural Monument, can only be reached on foot and is a 5 km round trip from the car park.
*Because the tip of Cape Kirakotan is designated as a National Natural Monument area, permission is required to enter the area. For details, please contact the Tsurui Board of Education (Tel: 0154-64-2050).
