Our guide

Shionomisaki Lighthouse stands on Cape Shionomisaki, on the southern coast of the Kii Peninsula, in the town of Kushimoto, Wakayama. Our source says little more than that, so this page is short.

The cape is about 900 m from the point we map. We have not checked whether the lighthouse can be visited, its hours or fees.
