This is a straight road about 16 kilometers long. It has two cranks along the way, but apart from these, it is truly a straight road that goes on forever! It is a road with a spectacular view where you can enjoy the horizon to the fullest. There are no guardrails, utility poles, or buildings around the road. There is only a single road and the surrounding pastures. It is rare to find such a straight road with such an empty landscape in Hokkaido, and it is no wonder why it is called a "sacred land" for cyclists. Sarufutsu Village, where the Esanuka Line is located, is famous for having the largest scallop catch in Japan. Enjoy it on a drive or tour.
Cape Soya is the northernmost point of Hokkaido , and therefore of Japan.

At Japan’s northern tip is the town of Wakkanai and the beautiful Soya Hills. Whether you enjoy cycling or a pleasant hike, the White Path, constructed out of crushed shells on the southwest side of Soya Hills, is a dream come true for nature lovers! Be sure to visit between May and November to snapshots of the vivid contrast between the white shelled path, rolling green slopes, and vast blue sky above.
The construction of the Wakkanai Port North Breakwater Dome began in 1931 (Showa 6) and was completed in 1936 (Showa 11).

The structure is 427 meters long, 13.6 meters high, and has 70 columns. Its semi-arch design is reminiscent of ancient Roman architecture, making it a unique structure in the world. For many years, it has protected people from waves and strong winds. In October 2001 (Heisei 13), it was designated as a “Hokkaido Heritage” site, and in 2003 (Heisei 15), it was designated as a “Civil Engineering Heritage” site.
