A trip to feel the sea and breeze at Cape Takamo, a scenic spot in Ainan Town

Cape Koumomisaki, located in Ainan Town, the southernmost tip of Ehime Prefecture, is a scenic spot in Shikoku where you can enjoy a particularly majestic ocean view. The view of the Pacific Ocean and Bungo Channel from the top of the cliffs is breathtaking, and it looks completely different depending on the season you visit. In this article, we will introduce tips for enjoying Cape Koumomisaki all year round, what to wear, and how to get there.

How to get to Cape Takamo

Cape Takamo is about a 40-minute drive from the center of Ainan Town. There is no public transportation, so access is primarily by rental car or private car. Along the way, there are local seafood shops and cafes, making it a great place to enjoy a detour while driving. However, be careful as wild monkeys and wild boars may appear on the road or in the parking lot.

If you continue along the road, you will see signs for Takamo Cape, so follow them.

Please slow down as the mountain road continues for a while. Also, the road is very narrow so please drive safely. If you continue along the road you will arrive at the place with this sign. The parking lot and toilets at the cape are new and well-maintained.

Spring (March to May): A season of pleasant wildflowers and sea breezes

From late March to May, wildflowers such as azaleas and crinums bloom at Cape Takamo. The entire cape is enveloped in soft greenery, and the glittering sea spreads out before you from the observation deck. The spring sea breeze can be a bit chilly, so we recommend wearing a light windbreaker or thin jacket.
