The best time to visit is before sunset, typically arriving around 5:00 PM during the late afternoon. The cape earned its name "Golden Cape" because the volcanic rock walls take on a stunning golden hue when bathed in sunset light. On clear days, visitors can also see Mount Fuji across Suruga Bay, with the mountain reflecting the changing sunset colors. Most visitors spend around 30 to 40 minutes exploring the park, though sunset viewers often stay longer to capture the dramatic lighting.
