Kushimoto is located on the southern tip of the Kii Peninsula in Wakayama Prefecture. This small town has beautiful coastal scenery as well as several interesting museums.

Cape Shionomisaki, located south of Kushimoto's town center, is the southernmost point of Honshu (Japan’s main island). Near the Cap are a shrine and Shionomisaki Lighthouse. Visitors are allowed in the lighthouse and can climb the spiral staircase to the top. Visitors can also learn about the lighthouse and the local history in the small museum located within the Shionomisaki Lighthouse.

Near Cape Shionomisaki lies Oshima Island. It is to mainland Japan by a large modern bridge. The island is home to two small foreign museums as well as beautiful coastal scenery.

The Turkish Memorial Museum is dedicated to a sea accident in 1890. A Turkish ship (the Ertugrul) was shipwrecked due to a rainstorm. When the survivors from the ship arrived onto the shores of Oshima, the townspeople took care of them until they could be safely return to Turkey. This incident marks the beginning of a deep friendship between Japan and Turkey.

On the mainland, visitors can see a series of rocks (around 40) dot the coastline leading out from the shore towards Oshima Island. It is believed that these rocks, called Hashikui-iwa, (meaning bridge pillar rocks) were created by the famous Buddhist monk Kobo Daishi. It is said he formed the rocks after being challenged by a monster to build a bridge across the sea. Now a national natural treasure, many visitors come to watch the sun rising over this beautiful, mysterious creation.
