Tsuki no Misaki

Tsuki no Misaki (月の岬 or 月の見崎), meaning "Headland of the Moon", was a name formerly in use for part of a plateau in Mita, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan.

One explanation of the name is that it was considered a particularly good place to view the moon over what is now Tokyo Bay.

In the Edo period, it was well known as one of seven capes (七崎 Nanasaki) around the Edo area, the other six being Shiomizaki (潮見崎), Sodegazaki (袖が崎), Ōsaki (大崎), Kōranzaki (荒蘭崎), Chiyogasaki (千代が崎) and Chōnangasaki (長南が崎).

The name had become obsolete by the middle or late Meiji period, when references were made to the loss of the view due to new buildings.
