Panorama from Cape Jizozaki Park
Cape Jizozaki, located at the tip of the Shimane Peninsula, offers a panoramic view that includes the Sea of Japan, Mt. Daisen, and Miho Bay. From the east side of the observation deck, visitors can pick out Okinogozen Island and Jinogozen Island about 3 km offshore. According to ancient legend, the god Kotoshironushi, enshrined at Miho Shrine, once fished in the waters around these islands. On clear days, the Oki Islands are visible in the distance. The west side of the deck overlooks the coastal scenery of the Shimane Peninsula, with its ria inlets.
Cape Jizozaki is part of the Shimane Peninsula and Shinjiko Nakaumi Estuary Geopark.
