Cape Erimo

It is the de facto southern tip of Hidaka Mountains.

Wind blows here at a speed of 10 m/s (22 mph) for almost 300 days a year.

Every year, more than 400,000 tourists visit Cape Erimo.

Rare species of Kuril Seals live there.

The main-belt asteroid 5331 Erimomisaki, discovered by amateur astronomers Kin Endate and Kazuro Watanabe in 1990, was named after Cape Erimo.
