Located on the northwest tip of Ishigaki Island in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, Mikamizaki is a renowned spot for enjoying sunsets and ocean views. The area boasts a white lighthouse, surrounded by magnificent cliffs and azure waters. On clear days, views extend out to Yonaguni Island. In spring and summer, lilies bloom along the shore, creating a striking contrast against the azure sky and ocean. Mikamizaki is also a popular spot for snorkeling and diving, with coral reefs and a rich marine ecosystem nearby. In the evening, the sunset paints the sky and sea a vibrant red, creating a breathtakingly romantic scene. It is a must-see attraction on any Ishigaki Island trip.
