Kushimoto is Japan's southernmost town on Honshu island, located at the tip of the Kii Peninsula in Wakayama Prefecture. This coastal town is known for its rich maritime history and cultural heritage.
The area features significant historical landmarks including Japan's first modern lighthouse, the Kushimoto Marine Park, and important cultural sites. The town's unique geographical location has made it an important point for maritime navigation throughout Japanese history, while its waters are home to diverse marine life due to the meeting of warm and cold ocean currents.
The local culture is deeply connected to the sea, reflected in its fishing traditions, seafood cuisine, and maritime customs. Kushimoto also plays a notable role in Japanese-Turkish relations, as it was the site of the Ottoman Empire frigate Ertuğrul's shipwreck in 1890, an event commemorated by the Turkish Memorial and Museum.
