basic information

Hedo Misaki

North of Nago, Okinawa Main Island is only scarcely populated and mainly covered by forests and hills. Hedo Misaki (Cape Hedo) is the island's northernmost tip, offering spectacular views of the cliffy coast.

The main approach to Cape Misaki is by route 58 along the western coast, where, halfway between Nago and the cape, there is a nice hiking trail to the Hiji Waterfall (about 30-40 minutes one way, 200 Yen admission to the trail) and a JAL resort hotel around Okuma Beach.

The less direct approach to Hedo Misaki along the more scenic, less developed eastern coast is highly recommended due to its beautiful coastal scenery. However, in order to explore the eastern coast, you will need your own transportation, such as a rental car, as there is no scheduled bus service.

how to get there

Bus service to Cape Hedo is only provided along the western coast: Take express bus number 111 from Naha Bus Terminal to Nago Bus Terminal and transfer to bus number 67 to Hentona Bus Terminal. Then take bus number 69 to "Hedo Misaki Iriguchi" bus stop.

By car, take the Okinawa Expressway from Naha all the way to its northern end near Nago (70 kilometers, the expressway toll is 1000 Yen). From Nago approach the cape by either the western or eastern coast. It is about 50 kilometers from Nago to the cape along the western coast.
