An impulsive off-season visit to see Cape Soya brought us to Wakkanai. Booked the hotel on route using the excellent Expedia app, which has proved so useful on our JR whistle stop (literally!) tour of Japan. Opted for this local hotel (rather than the more well known brands) as it offered a Japanese style room. This turned out to be a good call :)
As well as the spectacular views, Wakkanai and Cape Soya have many excellent and moving monuments dedicated to world peace.
