First sunrise (Inubozaki)

First sunrise (Inubozaki)

Event Overview

It is the easternmost headland of Kantō, located at the tip of the Chōshi Peninsula, and is one of the first sunrise attractions in the nation. The earliest first sunrise can be seen in the whole country except for the summit and remote islands. It seems to be quicker for Nemuro, Hokkaido, but for a few dozen days before and after New Year's Day, the first sunrise of Choko is earlier due to the relationship between the tilt of the earth's ground axis.
