Nanki Kumano Geopark Standard Tour: Why is Honshu's Southernmost Cape Shionomisaki the "Southernmost Point of Honshu"?!

About this event

This standard tour recommended by the Nanki Kumano Geopark Guide Association was planned as a "Nanki Kumano Geopark Standard Tour" so that individual travelers can easily join tours that are normally only organized upon group request. The tour explores why Cape Shionomisaki is called "Honshu's southernmost point" and delves into the background of why a "lookout tower," "lighthouse," "shrine," and "whale-watching post" exist there. The reason stems from the fact that the formation of the land in this region differs from others and is highly original. With a walking distance of approximately 2.5 km, the tour provides a deep understanding of the unique topography and history of Cape Shionomisaki. With pricing that includes lighthouse admission, visitors can fully experience the allure of Cape Shionomisaki.
