Our guide
Cape Hinomisaki faces the Sea of Japan near the western tip of the Shimane Peninsula, in Taisha-chō, Izumo. It lies within Daisen-Oki National Park. Our source says little more than that, so this page is short.
We have not checked the lighthouse's opening hours or a public-transport route, so plan the journey on the map and look for local information before you go.
