Cape Tappi (竜飛崎/龍飛崎, Tappimisaki)[1] is a headland on the northwestern point of the island of Honshu in Japan.
The name is believed to be derived from tampa which means "sword's edge" in the Ainu language.
It is located on the northern tip of the Tsugaru Peninsula within the borders of the town of Sotogahama in Aomori Prefecture.
[2] The cape marks the western limit of the Tsugaru Strait, separating it from the Sea of Japan.
[3] Near the lighthouse are stone monuments commemorating a number of people associated with Aomori Prefecture, including the author Osamu Dazai.
