[2025 Yomitan Attraction] Travel Guide for Cape Zanpa Lighthouse (Updated Apr)

🌊🌅🐋 Standing on the edge of the rugged cliffs, feeling the powerful sea breeze, and watching the waves crash against the rocks—it’s an experience that always leaves me in awe. The Cape Zanpa Lighthouse is the perfect spot for a panoramic view of the endless ocean, especially at sunset when the sky turns into a masterpiece of warm colors. One thing I love about Cape Zanpa is how peaceful it feels despite being a popular spot. Whether I’m taking a quiet walk along the cliffs or just sitting and listening to the waves, it’s the kind of place that lets you slow down and take in the beauty of nature. Best time to visit: Sunset is magical here, but if you prefer fewer crowds, go in the morning. What to bring: A hat and sunscreen—the sun can be intense. And if you love photography, bring a camera! The scenery is incredible. Whale spotting: From December to April, humpback whales migrate through Okinawa’s waters. Bring binoculars and watch from the lighthouse or the cliff edges for a chance to see them breaching in the distance. Early mornings or late afternoons offer the best visibility. If you’re looking for a place to unwind, take in Okinawa’s coastal beauty, and maybe even spot a whale, Cape Zanpa is a must-visit. #capezanpa #whalespotting #okinawa #japan #naturalwonders

Cape Zanpa is the most beautiful. The atmosphere is great and there is a white lighthouse. It is probably the most beautiful cape I have been to.

Okinawa has many islands 🏝️, and there are few transportation options. Buses 🚌 are infrequent and take a long time, making it suitable for self-driving trips. My first self-driving trip in Okinawa 🚗 was blessed with blue skies and clear weather. I fell in love 😍 with Okinawa's daily blue skies and white clouds! One of the itineraries: @Manzamo @Cape Zanpa Lighthouse For self-driving trips, be aware that it gets dark early, and many areas have no street lights. Drive carefully.

The clouds in Okinawa seem different from those in Taiwan. They seem to be within reach and can be touched. The afterglow of the sun makes people want to pause at this moment, put aside all thoughts, and concentrate on enjoying this moment of tranquility and beauty. The pure white lighthouse stands on the shore, guarding the fishing boats. It is very close from Manzamo to here, and it is also a popular itinerary. There is a toilet available for use. There is a cat there who is very friendly and even has its own water bowl. When walking through the grass, be careful of the Bidens pilosa, which will follow you mischievously!

Zanpa Cape Lighthouse is one of the few lighthouses open to the public, so we took the kids to experience the feeling of climbing up and enjoying the view from the top. It was quite interesting. Zanpa Cape Lighthouse is the tallest lighthouse in Okinawa, standing at 30.6 meters, and it's the only lighthouse in Okinawa that you can climb to the top. Zanpa Cape Lighthouse & Zanpa Cape Park are important attractions on Okinawa's west coast. Zanpa Cape is located at the westernmost point of Okinawa's main island, making it a prime spot to witness the island's last sunset. It's one of the famous sunset spots in Okinawa. The Zanpa Cape Lighthouse, being the only climbable lighthouse in Okinawa, offers a spectacular view from its 10-story height, overlooking the dramatic cliffs of Zanpa Cape. The entrance fee here is 300 yen, which is less than 100 New Taiwan dollars, making it quite affordable. If you have the chance, you should definitely come and experience the breathtaking view from the top!

🏞The lighthouse is about 30 meters high. The stairs are not very steep but narrow, so people have to wait in the stairwell when they get off. 🏞The scenery on top of the lighthouse is more spectacular than that from the park's observation deck, with a 360-degree panoramic view. Unfortunately, the opening time is only 4:30, so the beautiful sunset can only be enjoyed under the lighthouse. 🌺The ticket is 300 yen, and the museum next door is free. #Okinawa Attractions

This trip to Okinawa, went to Cape Zanbo to see the scenery 🫢 The weather was not quite good that day, the sky was not so beautiful 🤥 but even if the weather was bad, the scenery was still very beautiful. There are not many people to go that day, very quiet 👍🏼 Along the way there are several roads can walk into the mountains, can enjoy and take pictures in different locations 😝 If you want to go to this attraction, it is recommended to drive, because there is no car to go directly to 🥲 And no taxi station, no immediate taxi back, and quite far 🤥 Note: If you do not go to Manzamo in northern Okinawa, you can choose this attraction, here is not as far as Manzamo, the same view is very beautiful 👍🏼
