Nyūdō Cape

Nyūdō Cape stands at the northwestern tip of the Oga Peninsula, where grassy heights end in cliffs above the Sea of Japan. Oga was once an island, joined to Honshū by sandbars built from river sediment. Its western coast remains a rugged succession of cliffs and reefs. In the age of sail, vessels could seek an anchorage near the cape between the shore and the rocks of Mizushima.
