Wind-Pattern Coast of Sarufutsu Hokufuu Cape
猿払村, Hokkaido
Spectacular geometric wind patterns on sandy beaches created by powerful winds from the Sea of Okhotsk
The coastline of Sarufutsu Village features beautiful wind patterns carved into sandy beaches by powerful winds from the Sea of Okhotsk. Especially on early winter mornings, the delicate patterns etched on frozen sand are nature's own artwork. The pristine coastline, entirely untouched by human hands, embodies the vast scale unique to Japan's northernmost village. In winter, drift ice accumulates along the shore, creating a fantastical landscape where white ice contrasts beautifully with the wind patterns.
