Guide Map of Daisen-Oki National Park Cape Jizozaki Area 地蔵埼園地

Official explanation

In 1963, Cape Jizozaki and other parts of the Shimane Peninsula, the Oki Islands, and Mt. Sanbe were added to Daisen National Park, and the park was renamed Daisen-Oki National Park. Cape Jizozaki was originally called Cape Mihonosaki. Shipwrecks, however, frequently occurred along the adjacent coast and cliffs, and sailors started praying for safe passage to Jizo, the bodhisattva who protects travelers. Cape Miho became known as “the cape where Jizo resides,” and the name eventually changed to Cape Jizozaki.

Cape Jizozaki is part of the Shimane Peninsula and the Shinjiko Nakaumi Estuary Geopark.
