Cape Muroto | Muroto City, Kochi Prefecture
"A spectacular view at the farthest edge of Shikoku, where the raging waves of the Pacific Ocean meet the history of the Earth."

Cape Muroto is a cape located in Muroto City, Kochi Prefecture, at the bottom right of Shikoku.
The Pacific Ocean stretches out below, stretching out as if to the horizon. 🌊
