- Niigata Prefecture Niigata City Nishika-ku
- This cape is at the end of a ridge off of Mt. Kakudayama. Kakuda Cape Lighthouse was first lit in 1959. A huge sand-dune known as Niigata Sand-dune runs north from the cape towards Murakami City. The south side is mountainous along which runs the picturesque Echigo-Nanaura Seaside Line and on a clear day you can see across the sea to Sado Island. While normally you cannot enter the lighthouse during events such as Marine Day it is open to the public.
