1 Best Sight in Nagoya, Ise-Shima, and the Kii Peninsula, Japan

Daio

Tucked behind a promontory, this fishing village is an interesting stop on the journey around the headland. At a small fish market you can sample fresh squid, mackerel, and other seafood. Standing above the village is Daiozaki todai 大王崎灯台, a 72-feet tall lighthouse built in 1927 that's open to visitors daily from 9 to 4. To reach this towering white structure, walk up the narrow street lined with fish stalls and pearl souvenir shops at the back of the harbor.
