Henishizaki

Japanese: 艫作崎 - へなしざき
Henishizaki

A cape jutting out into the Sea of ​​Japan in Fukaura Town, Nishitsugaru County, in the southwest of Aomori Prefecture. The coast forms sea cliffs, and the strangely shaped rocks and stones create a magnificent landscape. At Koganezaki in the north is the Kosakuzaki Lighthouse, the largest on the west coast of Aomori Prefecture, which was built in 1941 (Showa 16). Camellias grow in colonies on Tsubakiyama to the south, marking the northern limit of wild camellias on the Sea of ​​Japan side. The surrounding area is designated as Tsugaru Quasi-National Park.
