Cape Tappi
龍飛崎（竜飛崎）Aomori · Tohoku
The windswept northern tip of the Tsugaru Peninsula, staring across the strait at Hokkaidō. Home to the Tappizaki Lighthouse (one of Japan's '50 Lighthouses'), a monument that plays Sayuri Ishikawa's 'Tsugaru Kaikyō Fuyugeshiki' at the push of a button, and Japan's only 'stairway national road' — a 388m, 362-step pedestrian staircase officially numbered as a national highway.
