Overview

Suzu Cape is a cape located in Suzu City, Ishikawa Prefecture, at the very tip of the Noto Peninsula. Its dynamic landscape, featuring dramatic cliffs jutting into the Sea of Japan and uniquely shaped rocks sculpted by the relentless waves, is truly captivating. Historically revered as a sacred site, it's renowned as a power spot, imbued with a sacred atmosphere. While the origin of the name Suzu Cape has several interpretations, one suggests it's derived from Kukai's first sighting of the island when traveling from Sado Island. Another account attributes the name to Kasiharahhiko-no-kami, a deity said to have first discovered the island upon descending to this location. Suzu Cape encompasses several capes, including Rokkōzaki, Kongōzaki, and Nagatezaki, each offering unique attractions. Rokkōzaki boasts a stunning coastline of sea cliffs and crashing waves. Kongōzaki, a representative cape of Suzu, provides panoramic views of the Sea of Japan from its observation deck. Nagatezaki invites exploration, with numerous sea caves and intriguing rock formations. Suzu Cape is also a popular spot for rock fishing. The area's proximity to hot springs enhances its appeal, offering a chance to enjoy both the abundant nature and the therapeutic benefits of onsen (hot springs).
