Cape Kamoda

蒲生田岬

Tokushima · Shikoku

The easternmost point of Shikoku, a rugged headland in Anan topped by a lighthouse built in 1924, within Muroto-Anan Kaigan Quasi-National Park. On clear winter mornings the sunrise can appear distorted into an omega shape, a phenomenon locally called a 'Daruma sunrise,' and the beach just north of the cape is a designated loggerhead turtle nesting site.

Why it's hidden

A remote, little-visited headland well beyond Tokushima's usual coastal stops, despite being a genuine geographic extreme point with a historic lighthouse and rare sunrise phenomenon.
