A small port sticking out from the Higashimatsuura Peninsula. It is famous for its scenic views of the Genkainada Ocean, where visitors can feel the ocean breeze atop a grass patch. The cape is on the “Genkai Quasi-National Park” which spans across the North West of Kyushu. Visitors can enjoy hiking, camping, swimming, and other fun activities.
If you walk to the observatory which is connected to Hado Misaki by a bridge, visitors can take in a wonderful view of the islands of Genkainada from atop a deck. The observatory tower spans 7m underwater, and sees 30 different fishes and sea plants or shells such as the Black Porgy, and Neon Damselfish from 24 windows underwater. Visitors can feel the magnificence and diverse underwater world. The oceans surrounding the cape have both hot and cold currents, meaning visitors can see tropical fishes.
Once visitors have enjoyed the view, make sure to head to the parking lot at the cape. Food stalls with grilled turban shells are there, and visitors can enjoy squid, abalone, and other seafood. When visiting the cape, make sure you visit at sunset. The romantic atmosphere of the cape earned its “Lovers Mecca” status.
