Cape Daiozaki

Japanese: 大王崎 - だいおうざき

A cape on the southeastern tip of the Shima Peninsula in central-eastern Mie Prefecture. It juts out on the border between the Kumano Nada Sea and the Enshu Nada Sea, and is known as a difficult place to navigate, with the entire cape being called Nakiri (wave-cutting). The tip of a marine plateau based on alternating layers of sandstone and mudstone has been eroded by waves to form a cliff of about 30 meters, with reefs scattered below. On top of the cliff stands the chalk-white Daiosaki Lighthouse, built in 1927 (Showa 2), and the raging waves crashing below it are known as a masculine sight in the feminine Shima Peninsula. Souvenir shops line the entrance to the lighthouse. There is a bus service from Ugata Station on the Kintetsu Shima Line.

Daiozaki
A cape on the southeastern tip of the Shima Peninsula. The area is called Namikiri, and the tip of the marine plateau, which is eroded by waves, forms a cliff of about 30 meters.

The offshore area, which is the dividing line between the Enshu Nada Sea and the Kumano Nada Sea, has been known as a dangerous place to cross since ancient times, and the white Daiozaki Lighthouse, which was erected on the cliff in 1927 (Showa 2), stands here.

Japanese:

三重県中東部、志摩半島(しまはんとう)南東端の岬。熊野灘(くまのなだ)と遠州灘の境に突出し、航海の難所として知られ、岬一帯は波切(なきり)とよばれる。砂岩と泥板岩の互層を基盤とする海成台地の先端が波食を受け、約30メートルの断崖(だんがい)となり、崖下には岩礁が散在する。崖上に1927年（昭和2）築造の白亜の大王埼灯台があり、その下に砕ける怒濤(どとう)は、女性的な志摩半島のなかで男性的な景観として知られる。灯台への登り口に土産物(みやげもの)店が並ぶ。近畿日本鉄道志摩線鵜方(うがた)駅からバスの便がある。
