Early light off the Sea of Japan throws blue across low cliffs as your private car follows a ribbon of coastal road toward Cape Kamui. Salt air pushes at the windows; gulls ride the thermals and the shore seems to dare you to step closer. The drive threads passes steep headlands, a spring that pours cold from Mount Yotei, and a small oyster shack where smoke and sea mingle.
