This was one spectacular sunset. Located way up on the western coast of the Shimokita Peninsula, Hotokegaura is one spot not to be missed on an exploration of Northern Japan. Massive limestone cliffs and water as far as the eye can see...makes a person feel a bit small. #japan #weekendgetaway #goldenhour #sunset
A very tippy point of northern Honshu on the Shimokita Peninsula where wild horses roam.
Another one of my favorites from Hotokegaura. Definitely time your visit with sunset!
