The cape was made famous by Shinichi Mori's enka song Erimo Misaki.

The cape hosts a population of Kurile seals, as well as a museum dedicated to wind (kaze-no-yakata).

This is a common location in Hokkaido to view the first sunrise of the year, and hundreds of people from all over Japan brave the strong, cold wind to watch.

Cape Erimo is a popular place for the first sunrise of the new year and visitors come not only from Hokkaido but all around Japan.

Erimo's Exciting Forest Creation Tree-Planting Ceremony (えりもワクワク森林づくり植樹祭, Erimo-wakuwaku-shinrin-zukuri-shokujusai) is held in late May and is a greening project.

The townspeople are promoting the creation of a rich forest by planting Sakhalin fir and pine every year.

However, the most highly anticipated festival event for residents of Erimo and the Hidaka area is the absolutely awe-inspiring display of fireworks.

While this event showcases Erimo's local products, the most popular attraction is the "salmon snag."

The town is home to the upper elementary school level reigning champion of Hokkaido, who placed first in his category at the prefectural competition of 2015.

The strong influence of the Tsushima current also produces significant seasonal lag, with August having the warmest daily mean, as well as September, October and December having warmer weather compared to July, June and March respectively.
