Cape Irizaki

Japan

Cape Irizaki (Irizaki, Yonaguni: Iridati) is at the western tip of Yonaguni Island, itself the westernmost island of Japan. Located approximately 120 m northwest of the cape is Tuishi, a rocky formation that is the westernmost point of Japan. The cape is within the town of Yonaguni, Okinawa. There is a lighthouse, an observation platform, and a monument titled "Monument of the Westernmost Point of Japan" (Nihon Saiseitan no Ishibumi) on the cape. Tourists gather at the cape daily to see the final sunset in Japan.
