Walk the mountain path to the lighthouse and enjoy stunning Japan Sea views

About this spot

A cape jutting out to the east of Takeno Hama, located at Hyogo's northernmost point. Its name reportedly comes from its resemblance to a cat in a sitting position, and a white lighthouse stands at its tip. The entire cape is developed as a walking path, perfect for leisurely strolls with views of cliffs and the blue Japan Sea. It's an ideal distance to stretch your legs after swimming, and the sea breeze is pleasant even in summer. From the lighthouse's observation area, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Takeno's coastline—a popular spot for souvenir photos.

Fireworks details

Name: たけの海上花火大会

Date & time: 7/30 (Thu) 20:00–20:50

Venue: 豊岡市・竹野浜海水浴場

2026年7月30日(木)開催、竹野浜海水浴場を舞台にした山陰海岸の夏の風物詩です。昼間は海水浴でにぎわう遠浅の浜が、夜になると花火観覧の特等席に姿を変えます。夜空に次々と開く大輪の花火は波打ち際からも間近に見上げられ、潮騒と花火の音が重なる臨場感は海辺の花火大会ならでは。日本海の澄んだ夜空に映える光の競演を、砂浜に腰を下ろしてゆっくり楽しみましょう。フィナーレの余韻とともに、竹野の夏の1日が締めくくられます。

Tips

荒天時は中止や延期の可能性があるため、当日の開催可否は主催者の発表で確認を。夜の砂浜は足元が暗いので懐中電灯やスマホのライトがあると安心です。終了後は駅や駐車場への道が混み合うため、少し余韻を楽しんでからの帰路がおすすめ。

Tips

Walkable from Takeno Hama Beach, but the path has ups and downs, so comfortable shoes are recommended. Allow about an hour round trip to the lighthouse. In midsummer, there's little shade, so don't forget to hydrate.
