Hinomisaki: White Stone Lighthouse and Vermilion Shrine—Sunset Drive
This sunset drive course follows a coastal road extending to the western tip of the Shimane Peninsula, beyond Izumo Taisha. After morning prayers at Hinomisaki Shrine with its striking vermilion shrine building, visit the white Izumo Hinomisaki Lighthouse, the tallest stone lighthouse in Japan. Stroll along the footpath at the cliff edge, satisfy your appetite with fresh seafood delivered from the fishing harbor, then enjoy an invigorating coastal drive along the Japan Sea to Kirara Taki. Taste soft ice cream made with the local fig specialty, and finish with a sunset at Kirara Beach as it sinks into the horizon. As you drive, the sea draws ever closer—an unforgettable day for any driving enthusiast.
