Shioyazaki

Japanese: 塩屋埼 - しおやざき
Shioyazaki

A cape facing the Pacific Ocean in southeastern Fukushima Prefecture. It is located in Taira Usuiso, Iwaki City. The southern part of Hamadori is a topography of alternating Tertiary hills, coastal terraces (plateaus), and coastal plains (lowlands), among which the hills and plateaus protrude slightly toward the sea and form capes. To the south of Shioyazaki, similar capes such as Kassozaki, Ryugasaki, and Misaki are lined up at intervals of about 3 kilometers. Part of Iwaki Coast Prefectural Natural Park, there is a lighthouse that opened in 1899 (Meiji 32) on a 40-meter-high sea cliff.

Shioyazaki
A cape jutting out into the Pacific Ocean in the eastern part of Iwaki City. The surrounding waters have long been known as a dangerous place, and in 1899 (Meiji 32), Shioyazaki Lighthouse was opened on the cliffs. The lighthouse is a beloved symbol of Iwaki City. The film "How Many Years of Joy and Sorrow" was produced based on the memoirs of the wife of the lighthouse keeper at the time, which were published in 1956 (Showa 31).
