Makizaki Wind Park

Located at the northernmost tip of Tsunoshima, Makizaki Wind Park offers a dramatic encounter with the raw beauty of nature.

The park is particularly known for its clusters of daruma-giku (Daruma asters), which bloom from late October to mid-November. Well-maintained walking trails allow visitors to enjoy the shifting scenery of each season while taking in panoramic views of the Sea of Japan. In spring and summer, a refreshing ocean breeze sweeps across the area, while in winter, the coastline transforms into a powerful scene of crashing waves.

The view from the park’s northern point is simply breathtaking. The endless horizon of deep blue sea and sky, paired with sweeping grasslands, creates a scene that feels like a living painting. Along the shore, columnar joints—rock formations created by ancient volcanic activity—add a striking texture to the landscape. These evenly spaced, vertical rock columns are a powerful testament to nature’s raw forces, especially when glowing orange under the setting sun.

Just before reaching the park, you’ll pass a grazing pasture where cattle have roamed freely since the Nara period. If you're lucky, you might catch sight of cows peacefully grazing in the open fields.

Makizaki Wind Park is an ideal escape from the busyness of everyday life—a place to refresh your spirit through the sights, sounds, and winds of nature.
