Kannonzaki Lighthouse
観音崎灯台24°22′ N 124°07′ ELighthouseGood with kids
Kannonzaki Lighthouse stands on the coast just west of Ishigaki town and looks straight across calm water at Taketomi, and a shelter with picnic tables makes it an easy sunset stop.
Ishigaki City's tourism site sends visitors here for the calm water and the view of Taketomi straight ahead. A shelter and tables stand on the grassy point, and a path below the shelter runs down to the sea through a natural tunnel of trees.
It works as an easy evening ride from town, and the sunset falls toward the outer islands. Milmil Honpo's gelato terrace sits on the road nearby.
Worth knowing
- Walk the tree-tunnel path down to the shore below the shelter.
