Osezaki Cape

7 of 13 in Fukue Island

Osezaki Cape (大瀬崎) stretches dramatically along the western edge of Fukue Island, where steep cliffs plunge into deep blue waters and the wind carries the scent of the open sea. The walk to the cape winds through rolling hills and rugged terrain, gradually unveiling panoramic views that seem to stretch endlessly across the East China Sea. Along the way, wild grasses sway in the breeze and seabirds glide overhead, creating a powerful sense of immersion in nature. These cliffs rank among the tallest and most striking in the Goto Islands, offering breathtaking sights for hikers, nature lovers, and photographers alike.

At the tip of the cape stands Osezaki Lighthouse, a solitary white sentinel perched above the sea. Originally built during the Meiji Period, the lighthouse lends a quiet dignity to the dramatic landscape. Though renovated over the years, its role as a coastal guardian endures, adding historical depth to the wild, windswept scenery. The surrounding area remains remote and tranquil—perfect for those seeking to escape the noise and experience the raw beauty of the Goto Islands.
