Features & How to Enjoy

Highlights

Point 1

Enjoy the Stunning View from the Westernmost Lighthouse in Shikoku

Sada Cape Lighthouse is a scenic spot located on the slender Sada Cape Peninsula, the westernmost point of Shikoku. Certified as one of the "88 Scenic Spots of Shikoku," the view that spreads out before you is truly breathtaking. If you go all the way to the location where the lighthouse stands, on a clear day, you can see Kyushu beyond the Toyohashi Strait. The recommended time to visit is in the evening. The sunset sinking into the sea is something you definitely want to experience with your loved ones.

Point 2

Enjoy a Walking Trail to the Tip of the Lighthouse

From the parking lot at the tip of Sada Cape, you need to walk about 25 minutes on a walking trail to reach the lighthouse. Along the way, there is a camellia forest where you can enjoy forest bathing while walking. The camellias here bloom from winter to early spring, so it's a particularly recommended season when the bright red camellias are in full bloom. Even in other seasons, you can walk while enjoying the sunlight filtering through the trees, so the 25-minute walk will pass by in no time.

Point 3

Enjoy Swimming in High-Transparency Beaches in the Summer!

If you visit Sada Cape in the summer, we recommend "Kawanohama Beach"! It's a spot where you can enjoy swimming on a natural sandy beach that's about 1 km long, and many people gather here during the summer, regardless of whether they're from the prefecture or outside of it. You can simply swim, but we also recommend trying out marine sports such as windsurfing! The beach has a shallow shore, so even those with children can enjoy it with peace of mind.

Point 4

Enjoy Local Fresh Seafood Cuisine

At Sata Cape, there are several shops where you can enjoy local fresh seafood cuisine. One highly recommended spot is "Marina-tei" located in Misaki Port. They only use seafood caught from the fishing ports of Yawatahama and Misaki, allowing you to savor the fresh seafood of Sata Cape. With a variety of appealing dishes such as seafood and chirimen-don (rice bowl topped with dried small fish) and sazae (turban shell) cooked in a pot, it's hard to decide what to order.

Point 5

Purchase Local Souvenirs at a Michi-no-Eki (Roadside Station)

At "Sadamisaki Hanahana" near Misaki Port, local seafood and mountain products are sold, making it a great place to buy souvenirs. They sell everything from marmalade and juice made from Sadamisaki's famous citrus fruits, to citrus ice cream and live seafood. It's fun just to look around. There is also a restaurant with a view of Misaki Port and a tourist information center, making it a great spot to take a break during a long drive.

Access

Recommended Access by Car

Sada Cape is located at the westernmost tip of Shikoku's Sada Cape Peninsula, and there are no buses or trains that run close by, making it difficult to access by public transportation. As the scenery is beautiful, it is recommended to access by car. It takes about 70km (about 2 hours) from Matsuyama-do Ozu IC to the tip direction, and there is a free parking lot, so you can rest assured. It is recommended to wear comfortable shoes as it takes about a 25-minute walk from the parking lot to the lighthouse at the tip of Sada Cape.

Required time

Secure Half a Day if You're Going All the Way to the Tip

The Sada Cape Peninsula is approximately 50 km long, so if you're going all the way to the tip to see the lighthouse, it will take about 3-4 hours round trip. Additionally, you'll need to walk about 25 minutes each way (approximately 50 minutes round trip) from the parking lot at the tip to the lighthouse. Considering the time it takes to get there, it's best to secure half a day just to be safe. If you want to enjoy the spectacular view from the lighthouse or indulge in local cuisine, it's best to secure half a day.

人によって、また体力があるか無いかによってコメントは大きく変わって来ると思います。最初に行かない方がいい人を書いて次に行っても大丈夫な人を書いておきます。 △まず行かない方がいい人・車の運転が下手な人。そもそも八幡浜からも結構距離があり途中から道路が狭くなってるので走ってても飽きて来ます。思ったよりも遠く感じます。中央線の無い狭い道路で対向車と離合する時にしっかり左に寄れない様な人は車で行かないで下さい。当たり前の様に道の真ん中を走って来られたら迷惑です。常に対向車が来る所だと思って速度控えめで左側端を舐める様な走り方を心掛けて下さい。・体力に自信の無い高齢者や女性、グズる様な小学生以下の子連れの方。連れて行くと大変です。・心臓や呼吸器系の疾患のある方、運動不足ですぐ息が切れたり足腰が弱い方、軽度でも精神疾患のある方。特に夏のクソ暑い時に行く所じゃありません。急病になったり挫折して引き返すにも途中まで降りたら上がって来るのが大変です。携帯電話の電波も入らないのですぐに119番通じるかどうか分かりません。強風やイノシシとの遭遇にも気を付けて下さい。・霊感が強い人や取り憑かれやすい人昔の軍隊の慰霊碑などがあるので怖いです。 ◎行っても大丈夫な人健康面や体力、足腰に問題の無い人。上記の様な事が何を言ってるんだってぐらい楽勝です。ちょっと歩きますが、その先に見える景色は素晴らしい物があります。私は洞窟の中にある砲台を見て歴史を感じ、感動しました。しっかり楽しんで来て下さい。暑くも寒くもない軽装で行ける時が1番楽だと思います。

駐車場は無料です。到着までに狭い道があります。平日の昼前でしたが、運良く対向車は来ませんでした。駐車場入り口付近に灯台に進む道があります。途中、崖で落ちたら死ぬような箇所があります。大変ではありますがせっかくなので先の灯台まで行きました。砲台があったり、バイオトイレがあったり、楽しかったです。灯台にはQRコードがあり、灯台カードなるものをダウンロードできました。イノシシは見ませんでした。

八幡浜までlunchに行くので、佐田岬まで足を伸ばして行きました。灯台が見える見晴台、灯台とまで歩いて散策。汗かいていい運動。海がキレイ!
