A headland in Yomitan marked by a white lighthouse, with dramatic cliffs and open views across the East China Sea.
Highlights
- White lighthouse and coastal cliffs
- Views over the East China Sea
- A cape walk and lighthouse visit
A lighthouse above the cliffs
The cape in Yomitan combines high cliffs with a white lighthouse. Rock shapes and breaking waves create a coastal character different from a sandy beach. The lighthouse can be appreciated as part of the landscape as well as a destination.
Blue water, coastal rock and the white lighthouse define Cape Zanpa’s scenery. The shapes of the cliffs add to its distinctive setting.
Exploring the area
A walk around the headland can be planned separately from entering the lighthouse. The stop adds time on foot to a drive through Yomitan, with the scale of the sky and sea close at hand.
Before visiting
Lighthouse visiting hours differ from a walk around the cape. Current official information and marked viewing areas guide a visit.
