Nemuro
7.7
Lower score (below 6)
Nemuro is the easternmost city in Japan and the closest inhabited point to the disputed Northern Territories — on clear days the Russian-administered Kunashir Island is visible from Cape Nosappu, the easternmost accessible point in Japan. The city of around 26,000 has a heavy political identity tied to the territorial dispute, and the Northern Territories return movement is part of daily civic life here. The flower gardens and rare bird species (red-crowned cranes winter here) draw nature tourists. For a foreign man, this is one of the more isolated Japanese cities, with a conservative fishing community character and essentially no international social infrastructure.
