Cape Hachiman (Isumi, Chiba)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cape Hachiman (Isumi, Chiba) (八幡岬, Hachiman-misaki) is a cape on the Pacific Ocean, in the Ōhara area of the city of Isumi, in the southeast area of Chiba Prefecture, Japan. The cape is named after Hachiman, a mythological Japanese god of archery and war. There is another identically-named cape a few kilometers to the south in the city of Katsuura City, sharing the namesake.
Cape Hachiman overlooks the Tangaura inlet and consists of several picturesque steep sea cliffs. Further south are several sandy beaches. It is notably the home of the Ōhara Fishing Port. At the precipice of the cape, there is a popular tourist esplanade, which can be dangerous on the days of high waves.
