Location; Cape Hedo Okinawa
It’s the literal end of the line – the most northern tip of Okinawa, with stunning ocean views and incredible natural beauty, surrounded by nothing but green in this remote part of the island. It may take a long time to get there, even using the expressway, but it is a road trip worth doing. Along the way you pass through tiny traditional Okinawan villages unchanged by time, as well as beaches and fishing ports. There are many scenic spots to stop and take pictures, such as Kayauchi Bantaa, and the nearby Daisekirinzan Park with 200 million year old limestone rock formations. Considering how long it takes to get to Cape Hedo, it is recommended to do all three.
At the Cape itself, there is free parking, and a number of small walking paths and look out points. On a clear day, you can see all the way to Yoron Island, more than 20 kilometres away in Kagoshima Prefecture. Below you are high cliffs, to your right are a number of sandy beaches, and below you, pristine coral reefs.
