Hashigui Iwa Rocks and Cape Shio: Honshu's Southernmost Point
A scenic drive date along the coast in Kushimoto, Honshu's southernmost town. Start in the morning at Hashigui Iwa, where forty-odd rock formations line up perfectly in the sea, then take a break at the adjacent rest area. At Cape Shio, ascend the pure white lighthouse and grab lunch with a commemorative visitor certificate at the tourist tower featuring Kindai University's famous bluefin tuna. End your day by crossing to Kii Ohshima Island and visiting the Turkish Memorial Museum, which shares a heartwarming tale of friendship with Turkey. A full-day course where you can feel the grand panorama of the Pacific Ocean throughout.
