Eastermost point of Japan and Cape Nosappu Lighthouse

Cape Nosappu (納沙布岬 Nosappu-misaki) is a point on the Nemuro Peninsula, Nemuro, Japan which is the easternmost point in Hokkaidō. It is also the easternmost point in Japan which is open to the public. It is located where the waters from the Pacific Ocean meet those from the Sea of Okhotsk. The Cape Nosappu Lighthouse  (納沙布岬灯台 nosappumisaki tōdai) located at this cape is the oldest in Hokkaidō, built in 1872.
