地球岬 / Cape Chikyu

地球岬(室蘭市)面向太平洋,也有燈塔在那裡。名字的由來是阿伊努人稱這裡為「母親大地的懸崖」,發音為Chikiu(發音和日語的《地球》相同)。海岬的地形為高出海面100公尺的懸崖峭壁。是室蘭市的著名景點。也是著名的日出景點,元旦當天有很多的人會特地來看元旦的第一道曙光。站在展望台上就可以很清楚看到地球是圓球狀。

Cape Chikyu (Muroran City), with its proudly standing lighthouse, faces the Pacific Ocean. The name of the Cape stands for earth in English, but it’s actually derived from the Ainu language’s “Poro Chikepu”, which means a cliff of the Motherland. The cape has a cliff which towers one hundred meters above sea level. Because of the magnificent view, it’s a well-known viewing spot. Also, Cape Chikyu is renowned as a mecca for people to come to on January 1st to see the first sunrise of the New Year. There is a observation area, where you can see the curvature of the earth because of the slightly curved horizon.
