Eastern Cape (東半名岬 Higashi-hennazaki?), is the most eastern point of the Miyako island, in the prefecture Okinawa, Japan. It is located at the lower right hand corner of the island and it is connected by a road No. 83. The projecting land is 2 km long and 140 - 200 m wide. At the very end of the cape is a white lighthouse which gives 3200 panorama view of the ocean, a very popular spot for sunrise viewing. The lighthouse was erected in 1967, is 43 m high and has a range of 18 nautical miles. Near the road is a rock which is a grave of Mamuya. There is also a little fishing port at the base of the cape.
