What other travelers are saying about Cape Ashizuri
Was pretty windy when we went. The view was nice and a good well marked walking trail to walk around m. The free foot onsen was closed on Wednesday. Been to many other beautiful capes but if you are close by, worth a visit.
Our dinner were really delicious. The sunset was amazingly beautiful. Apart from the onsen, users could also enjoy free drinks at the hotel lobby. Quite a relaxing place.

The ocean view from the top of the cape spreads out. There is a statue of John Manjiro Nakahama at the entrance. Although he was only a fisherman, he played a major role for opening Japan at the end of Tokugawa shogunate era.
Public transportation from JR Nakamura Station to Cape Ashizuri is available, however that is very unfrequent. Please check the schedule or timetable before you visit Shimanto city.
Cape Ashizuri is a long way from anywhere, but the views from the lookout here are incredible and make the effort to get there is well worth it. You really feel that you are on the very edge of Japan.
