A highlight of a visit to the cape are the views of nearby Mount Kaimondake, which stands
924 meters above sea level. Because of its conical shape, it bears a striking resemblance to
Mount Fuji and is often referred to as “Satsuma Fuji”.

of the Ryugu Shrine was built in 2011. The name of popular limited express for sightseeing “Ibusuki
