Introducing Shimokita-hantō
Also called Masakari-hantō (Axe peninsula) because of its shape, this isolated peninsula has long stretches of sparsely inhabited coastline and remote mountain valleys. At its western edge, Hotokegaura is a spectacular stretch of coastline dotted with 100m-tall wind-carved cliffs, which are said to resemble Buddhas. Stock up with supplies before heading to the peninsula – facilities are limited.
