Cape Kamoda
Headland in Tokushima Prefecture, Japan / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cape Kamoda (蒲生田岬, Kamoda-misaki) is a headland at the easternmost point[1] of the Japanese island of Shikoku, in the city of Anan, Tokushima Prefecture.[1] The promontory extends into the Kii Channel[1] and is situated within Muroto-Anan Kaigan Quasi-National Park.[1] Above the cape is Cape Kamoda Lighthouse [ja], which started operating in 1924;[1] from its observatory it is possible to see Cape Hi [ja] in Wakayama Prefecture, Ōnaruto Bridge, and Awaji Island.[1] In 2010 a stone sculpture known as "Wave Song" (「波の詩」) was erected nearby.[2] North of the cape lies Maiko Island [ja], while I Island [ja] is to the east.[3] The sandy beach to the north is an egg-laying ground for loggerhead sea turtles and has been designated a Prefectural Natural Monument.[4][5] In late autumn and winter, so-called "Daruma Sunrises" sometime occur, with the sun appearing in the shape of the Greek letter omega Ω.[1]
