Cape Ashizuri, the most beautiful place in the southern tip of Shikoku

Cape Ashizuri is the southernmost cape of Shikoku, protruding into the Pacific Ocean. It is known as the most beautiful scenic spot in the southern part of Shikoku. It features bright white lighthouses, lush green botanical gardens, cliffs and surging waves, charming coastal trails, and the solemn and quiet 38th The most famous seven wonders are the Pine of Heavenly Lantern, the Pine of Dragon Lantern, the Rocking Stone, the Tide-level Washing Stone, the Turtle Calling Field, the Hell Cave, and the Tengu Nose. The "Ryugu Shrine" is a magnificent attraction recommended by locals and is worth a visit. I stayed at the Orange B&B in Shimizu. You need to climb a small hill to get to the B&B. The room on the second floor overlooks the Urado Bay. I went out at 6 o'clock in the morning to visit the 38th Shrine, explore the Ashizuri Cape Scenic Area, and then walk back. To the B&B, the round trip is 27km in total. Although I have found the "Seven Wonders of Ashizuri", I still don't have the wisdom to comprehend miracles. I like the Cape Ashizuri Lighthouse and the natural landscape Hakusan Cave Gate the most. Hakusan Cave Gate is the largest sea-eroded granite cave in Japan. The heart-shaped cave is called "Sea God". "Blessing Heart Cave!" It is said that it is the energy point for realizing love. You can reach the cave entrance by taking the steep stairs down along the coastal trail (a must-see), irregular stones, the salty smell of sea water, and the waves that keep advancing with the rising tide. , Super Kill Film is super fun. The 38th Kongofuji Temple has a beautiful Japanese garden, blue dragon lantern, nine-wheeled pagoda, multi-treasure pagoda and bell tower, as well as a large stone turtle that can bring good luck if you touch its head. After worshiping, remember to visit the "Manjiro Foot Bath" before leaving Cape Ashizuri. "Soak your feet to relieve fatigue. The day I visited was the Obon holiday, and the foot bath had no service staff and no air conditioning (it was 36 degrees outside). It was like an oven. I peeked at the Hakusan Gate outside the floor-to-ceiling glass and left quickly! #2024TravelReview
