Cape Hedo, or Hedo-misaki, is the northernmost point of Okinawa Island, offering dramatic views where the East China Sea meets the Pacific Ocean. The cape features rugged cliffs, a commemorative monument marking Okinawa’s reversion to Japan, and a lighthouse. On clear days, visitors can see Yoron Island in the distance. The area is steeped in legend, including tales of King Gihon, who is said to have disappeared into the forest near the cape. Cape Hedo is part of the Okinawa Dai Sekirinzan Quasi-National Park, known for its unique geological formations. The site combines natural splendor with cultural and historical resonance.
