Cape Notoro is a cape facing Okhotsk Sea and is located about 10 km north of the center of Abashiri city.
In Japanese, it is called "Notoro Misaki".

It is surrounded with steep cliff about 60 meters high.
But there is flat and wide grassland on the cliff.

Near the tip of the cape, there is a lighthouse of 21 meters in height.
