Enjoy Panoramic Views from the Lighthouse on the Cape Overlooking the Kitan Strait and Tomogashima Island

About this spot

A small white lighthouse standing at the tip of a cape jutting into the Kitan Strait on the northern side of the Kada settlement. In front of you stretches a magnificent sea view overlooking Tomogashima and Awaji Islands, and the sea breeze is pleasant—a scenic viewpoint cherished locally. The area around the lighthouse is rocky, and on clear days the sea's transparency is high, allowing you to feel the vastness of the sea you're about to swim in. While there are no flashy tourist facilities, this is a place where you can savor the quiet seaside landscape unique to the port town of Kada.

Tips

About 5 minutes by car from Awashima Shrine. The ground is rocky in places, so shoes that are easier to walk in than sandals are recommended. Since there is little shade, don't forget your hat and sunscreen.

Best time to visit

Takes about 45 minutes. Mid-morning with gentle sunlight is recommended.
