Wakkanai (Wakkanai City) is a road station on route 40, and it’s the northernmost road station in Japan. It is housed within JR Wakkanai Station. A sign which shows visitors the northernmost rail point in the country is a popular photo spot. There are also some other photo worthy scenes. A sculpture of a man with a bell, a work by the sculptor Nagare Masayuki, is one of them. At Wakkanai Select, a café and a shop, hayashi rice (rice with hashed meat) is popular. They sell not only Wakkanai souvenirs, but also souvenirs of the northern areas of Hokkaido.
