Cape Gyōbumi

The cape is located at the very northern point of Kujūkuri Beach on the island of Honshu, and is protected as part of the Suigō-Tsukuba Quasi-National Park.

The cape is located on the southern side of the Chōshi Peninsula at the western end of the Byōbugaura inlet.

Marine erosion is severe and continues due to the harshness of waves from the Pacific Ocean off the cape.

A viewing platform, named "Hikari to Kaze" (meaning "light and wind"), opened in 2001 adjacent to the lighthouse.

The fishing port and buildings at the base of Cape Gyōbu saw major damage as a result of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.
