Cape Muroto, Scenic beauty spot in Murotomisakichō, Japan
Cape Muroto extends into the Pacific Ocean from Kochi Prefecture, featuring geological formations shaped by volcanic activity and marine erosion over millions of years.
The cape gained recognition in 1927 when it was selected as one of the New Eight Views of Japan for its geological and natural characteristics.
The Mikurodo Cave within Cape Muroto holds religious importance as the location where Buddhist monk Kukai achieved enlightenment during his spiritual journey.
The Muroto Global Geopark Center provides educational displays, guided tours, and information about hiking trails throughout the cape's extensive network of paths.
The geographical position of Cape Muroto allows visitors to observe both sunrise and sunset over the Pacific Ocean from the same viewing location.
