Shakotan is a coastal area west of Otaru, characterized by a protrusion along the coastline known as Shakotan Peninsula. It is home to Cape Kamui. The term "Misaki" refers to a landform that juts out into the sea, often with a relatively pointed shape. Both "Kamui-gōto" and "Kamui Misaki" refer to the same place.
