Hinomisaki
The white masonry of Hinomisaki Lighthouse glimmers in contrast to the blue sky and sea. Inside the lighthouse is a 163-step spiral stairway that will take you to the viewing deck on top where you can take in the view of the coast. There is also a nice walking path along the coast that provides stunning views.
Sunsets at Hinomisaki are spectacular. Sunsets that paint the sky red as the sun sinks in the horizon are a must-see.
Nearby is Hinomisaki Shrine, its vermilion color vividly stands out against the blue of the Sea of Japan and the green of the surrounding forests.
