Enjoy the white lighthouse and the scenery of the Nakiri fishing town
About this spot
A white lighthouse standing at the tip of Nakiri Cape (波切) at the eastern end of the Shima Peninsula (志摩半島). Known for the rough waves of the Pacific and its superb views, the area leading up to the lighthouse is also called the Town of Painters because so many artists have taken up their brushes here. Reaching the lighthouse is a small adventure up narrow slopes and alleys, and from the top a grand panorama of the Pacific opens out. Wandering the alleys of the Nakiri fishing town at the foot of the lighthouse is a fresh experience for children as well.

Tips
There are slopes and stairs on the way to the lighthouse, so it is best to leave the stroller at the bottom and carry little ones. The lighthouse exhibition hall charges an admission fee. The alleys are maze-like, so hold hands as you walk to avoid getting separated.
