Miura・Jōgashima Cormorant Observation Tower

Located at the southernmost tip of the Miura Peninsula, Jōgashima Island is known for its towering ocean cliffs carved by the Pacific's rough waves and unique rock formations. The island's south side features a cormorant roosting ground where you can observe magnificent flocks of cormorants perched on the cliffs from the observation tower during winter months. The island also houses a poetry monument by Kitahara Hakushu, making it ideal for literary walks. Popular for tidepooling and snorkeling, it's an easily accessible day trip from central Tokyo with abundant natural beauty.
