Cape Erimo (襟裳岬 Erimo-misaki?) is a cape in Hokkaidō, located at Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.. It is the de facto southern tip of Hidaka Mountains.
Hot and cold fronts meet nearby of the cape thus creating a dense mist which covers the cape for more than 100 days a year. Wind blows here with the speed of 10 m/s for almost 300 days a year. Every year more than 400,000 tourists visit Cape Erimo.
Rare species of Kuril Seals live there.
