This is Shikoku’s southernmost outcrop, and has been designated as the Ashizuri Uwakai National Park.  The horizon appears with a slight arch, meaning that you can actually feel the round shape of the earth. The power of the waves as they crash into the cliffs is also something to experience.Local guides are available to provide tours on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, national holidays, summer vacation and Golden Week, but reservations are required. You can use the Manjiro Foot Spa Hotspring for free (close on Wednesdays). The Hakua Ashizuri-misaki lighthouse is so beautiful that it has been chosen as one of Japan’s 50 Best Lighthouses. The combination of the panoramic Pacific view and the lighthouse is very romantic, and it has come to be a symbol of the outcrop. It is just a 10 minute walk from the Asuzuri parking lot along the footpath.
