Cape Ashizuri, projecting at the southernmost tip of Shikoku, is a spectacular scenic spot wrapped in rugged precipice cliffs where fierce waves of the grand Pacific Ocean crash and a vast ocean panorama extends without obstruction. The pure white lighthouse standing at the absolute tip of the cape and the vast horizon panorama filling over 180 degrees of your vision allow visitors to realistically experience the earth's curvature, deeply moving international tourists. The surrounding area is covered by rich primeval forests where subtropical plants like camellias grow naturally, featuring well-maintained walking paths to enjoy strolls while feeling pleasant breezes. Furthermore, "Kongofuku-ji Temple"—the 38th temple of the Shikoku Pilgrimage related to Kobo Daishi Kukai—stands adjacent, letting you experience a remote edge's spiritual history. It is a sacred site wrapped in wild natural energy and silence.
