| Cape Tappi (竜飛崎/龍飛崎, Tappimisaki)[1] is a headland on the northwestern point of the island of Honshu in Japan. The name is believed to be derived from tampa which means "sword's edge" in the Ainu language. It is located on the northern tip of the Tsugaru Peninsula within the borders of the town of Sotogahama in Aomori Prefecture. Much of the cape is also a part of the Tsugaru Quasi-National Park.[2] The cape marks the western limit of the Tsugaru Strait, separating it from the Sea of Japan. The area is known for its almost constant strong winds. |
