Cape Zanpa point and Lighthouse are right next to Zanpa Park.  Zanpa Park and Cape Zanpa are located in Yomitan village and it’s one of costal Quasi-national Parks in Okinawa.

Capes precipitous cliff is 30 m down and length is 2km (1.24 miles) long.

This area Yomitan is also known by the first landing locations to the US armed forces’ in mainland Okinawa, 1945 World War II.

Beware some rocks are very sharp and if your with little ones you should be cautious.

Cape Zanpa Lighthouse 残波岬灯台

This picture was taken from the park looking at the lighthouse.

This lighthouse was made in 1974 and was first opened to public in 2001, you can pay little money to get to the top of the lighthouse and if it is a nice day you can enjoy the view of the Aguni Island, Kerama Islands and the Kume Island.

It is a very beautiful view of the East China Sea.

This picture was taken at Cape Zanpa lighthouse when my three kids were little.
