Imabetsu Town is at the northern tip of the Tsugaru Peninsula, facing Minmaya Bay. A story links the origin of its place names to the legend that Minamoto no Yoshitsune fled to the north. It has Okutsugaru-Imabetsu Station on the Hokkaido Shinkansen, and from the lighthouse at Cape Takano, Hokkaido can be seen across the Tsugaru Strait. Strange rocks on the coast and Daruma Falls are also sights.
