Erimo
7.5
Lower score (below 6)
Cape Erimo at the southern tip of the Hidaka mountains is one of the windiest points in Japan — the cape records gale-force winds on over 200 days per year, which shapes everything about this place. The cape itself is a nature tourism site with a seal colony (spotted seals haul out on the rocks) and a wind museum. The town of 5,000 is a fishing community built around this harsh geography. Social infrastructure is minimal, the community is tight-knit fishing families, and there's no social opening for a foreign man beyond brief tourist interactions at the cape.
