This is more of a big gift shop rather than a scenery attraction. The entrance is 100 yen, it’s nothing but you don’t get too much for that money anyway. When I approached the ticket machine, the staff nearby instantly started pressing buttons for me, immediately switching menu to English presuming I couldn’t speak Japanese, it was quite annoying because I haven’t asked for help.
This cape is stunning. Despite a small entry fee, it is a busy spot for toilets, food, shade and souvenirs. The cape is undeniably worth the visit and photo opportunity. It only takes 30 minutes to stroll along the cliff leisurely and explore.
Wonderful trip to this place. We arrived at 9plus am which was lovely because it got even more crowded at 11plus. The view was magnificent. Worth the trip. Some food eateries for quick fix. Son loved the place. Tickets were easy to purchase. 100 Yen each. Purchase on the spot.
Free 1 x photo for each family.
Beautiful coastal line in Onna, took some pictures and they have restaurants for you to have your simple lunch. Some souvenirs stores as well . Love their toilet signage where you can see if it is vacant and the number of units . You need to pay for the entry but minimal .
