Is this the end of the world? Cape Shiriya Lighthouse.

Alright!! Let me tell you all about the charm of Cape Shiriya Lighthouse, the farthest point in Aomori Prefecture!! 1. One of Japan's finest white lighthouses! Cape Shiriya Lighthouse is a prestigious lighthouse selected as one of the '50 Best Lighthouses in Japan'! It stands at a height of 41.5 meters! Its pure white appearance looks amazing against the blue sky, super cool!! Built in 1876 (Meiji 9), it's a historical lighthouse that's still in active service! Brick lighthouses are rare in Japan!! 2. The breathtaking ocean view is insane! You can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of the Tsugaru Strait and the Pacific Ocean! The sunrise and sunset are especially spectacular, with the blue of the sea and the vastness of the sky creating a whole new world! On clear days, you can even see the mountains of Hokkaido!! 3. Meet the legendary Kandachime horses! At Cape Shiriya, you can find the strongest horses that can withstand the harsh winter cold, known as Kandachime! They leisurely graze on grass or lie down and relax... their freedom is the best!! If you love horses or animals, you must visit!! 4. A winter wonderland! Experience the harsh beauty! In winter, Cape Shiriya is an ultra-heavy snowfall area!! Blizzards can rage, reducing visibility to zero...! But it's precisely because of this harsh environment that the contrast between the snow and the lighthouse is so mystical!! The lighthouse standing tall in a world of silver looks like a fortress from another world!! But be careful, as it's closed during the winter! 5. A rare spot with difficult access! That's why it's worth going! Cape Shiriya is super rural! But that's what makes it great!! It's hard to get there without a car, being at the edge of Aomori... but that's why the sense of achievement when you get there is incredible!! It's truly a 'hidden gem' spot!! Summary: Lighthouse x Horses x Scenery = The Ultimate Adventure!! At the farthest point of Aomori, you'll encounter a historical lighthouse, the strongest horses, and be overwhelmed by the magnificent natural scenery... Cape Shiriya Lighthouse is a treasure trove of romance!! You just have to go!!
