Cape Kashiwazaki
9 of 12 in Fukue Island
Cape Kashiwazaki (柏崎岬) holds a deep connection to Japan’s history. It was here that Kukai and the Japanese envoys made their final stop before setting sail to Tang China. In later years, the area became a thriving center for whaling during the time of the Goto fief.
Today, Cape Kashiwazaki offers peaceful coastal views, a small monument honoring Kukai’s journey, and a quiet, remote village. Perfect for travelers seeking a blend of history and nature, this cape invites you to reflect on centuries of seafaring adventure and tradition.
