Sunset Cape (Yuhi-misaki) on Kasado Island is famous as one of the best places to see the most beautiful sunset in the Seto Inland Sea. The silhouettes of small islands scattered across the sea and strange rocks carved by rough waves over many years show a divine appearance like a religious painting at dusk, as the sky and sea change expressions moment by moment. From the observation spot, you can see the vast, unobstructed horizon, and the time spent quietly watching the sun sink while listening to the sound of the waves will completely heal the fatigue of your journey. It is a romantic scenic point representing Yamaguchi Prefecture, where natural formative beauty and the magic of light merge.
