Cape Muroto, sharply projecting at the southeastern tip of Kochi Prefecture, is a magnificent spectacular scenic spot certified as a UNESCO Global Geopark where you can closely observe the dynamic history of the earth's crustal movements. Rugged odd rocks and giant rocks carved by rough waves of the Pacific Ocean line the coastline, with exotic landscapes featuring subtropical trees towering throughout expanding. Mysterious caves such as "Mikurodo," where Kobo Daishi Kukai once trained and achieved enlightenment, are located here, receiving high accolades from Western history and nature探訪 enthusiasts. From the pure white, Taisho-period lighthouse standing at the summit of the cape, an grand ocean view as far as the eye can see unfolds, serving as a power spot to directly experience nature's overwhelming life force and the earth's breath with all five senses.
