Located in the Nippo Kaigan Quasi-National Park, Cape Hyuga offers visitors vast, spectacular views.
Among them is the rugged Umagase, or “horse back”, rock formation of the cape, so named because it looks like the back of a horse when seen from the sea. The observation spot at the end of a walking path offers a completely uninterrupted panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean, while the glassed-in Skelutcha Viewing Deck on the cliff edge offers visitors a thrill along with the amazing views. 
Visitors can also find the Sea-Cruz just three minutes by car from Umagase. The word “Cruz” comes from the Portuguese word for “cross.” The site gained its name for appearing like a cross when seen from above, stretching roughly 200 meters east to west and 220 meters north to south, a shape resulting from waves striking against a massive stone column over the years.
As the combination of this cross with the rock formation adjacent to it looks much like the Chinese character for wishes coming true, it is believed that the wishes of visitors here do, in fact, come true.
