About this spot

A park sprawling across the tip of the cape east of Katsuura Harbor, boasting panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean from its cliffs. The park features a statue of Oman (お万の方) known for a tragic tale from the Warring States period, allowing you to touch history while feeling the sea breeze. The spacious grass plaza offers an open feel, perfect for spreading out your own lunch and spending leisurely time. A break with ocean views heightens anticipation for the Okuzu Beach swimming ahead.

Tips

About 10 minutes by car from Katsuura Morning Market. There are no food establishments in the park, so it's recommended to bring prepared dishes purchased at the morning market or a prepared lunch from nearby. There is little shade, so in peak summer, a hat and parasol are helpful.
