Kyogamisaki Cape

Japanese: 経ヶ岬 - きょうがみさき
Kyogamisaki Cape

A cape located at the northeastern tip of the Tango Peninsula in northwest Kyoto Prefecture. It juts out into the Sea of ​​Japan and is the northernmost point of the Kinki region (35°46'N, 135°13'E). The cliffs, eroded by the sea, are rich in coastal beauty and are included in the Tango Amanohashidate Oeyama Quasi-National Park. On top of the cliffs, 140 meters above sea level, is the Kyogamisaki Lighthouse, built in 1898 (Meiji 31), with a light output of 760,000 candles and a range of approximately 29 nautical miles.
