Omaezaki straddles Cape Omaezaki between Suruga Bay and the Enshū-nada in Shizuoka Prefecture, and this exposed Pacific position has made the sea central to its identity. The sheltered bay lies to the northeast, while the open Enshū-nada faces the wider ocean. Omaezaki Lighthouse, first lit in 1874, stands on the headland as a longstanding navigational landmark. Beyond the shore, the city belongs to Shizuoka’s tea-growing region, while its coastal setting supports an active fishing port. Beaches and cape-side walks give Omaezaki a notably open, wind-shaped character. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Omaezaki and Shizuoka Prefecture.
