Cape Muroto is a cape located in Muroto City, Kochi Prefecture, at the southeastern tip of Shikoku, Japan.

It extends into the Pacific Ocean and is located within the Muroto UNESCO Global Geopark.
Muroto Geopark is a geopark that covers the entire area of Muroto City, Kochi Prefecture, and was certified as a global geopark in 2011.
Cape Muroto was built about 16 million years ago on the deep sea floor and was uplifted by huge earthquakes that occur every 100-150 years.
Due to the subduction of the Philippine Sea Plate beneath the Eurasian Plate in the Nankai Trough, some 140 kilometres (87 mi) off the cape, the land around the cape is being uplifted at a rate of 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) to 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) per millennium, at the top end of the world's uplift rates.
This beach was once under the sea, but was turned into land by the Hoei Earthquake of 1707, the Ansei Nankai Earthquake of December 24, 1854, and the Showa Nankai Earthquake of December 21, 1946.
The 1946 Showa Nankai earthquake caused the ground to rise by about 1 m.
I can't even imagine the incredible power it takes to lift this mountain 1m.
On the other hand, the offshore area where the Kuroshio Current flows is an area where typhoons are likely to occur, and Cape Muroto is known for its strong winds.
The Muroto Typhoon of 1934 and the second Muroto Typhoon of 1961 made landfall in this area and have left their mark.
During the second Typhoon Muroto, the weather observatory's anemometer was damaged, and the maximum instantaneous wind speed was only recorded as ``84.5 m/s or more''. What was the actual wind speed?
In this way, while facing disasters such as typhoons and earthquakes, the wisdom and ingenuity of the people of Muroto, who have coexisted with nature, which brings blessings, is wonderful.
Thank you for watching, my friends.🥷🇯🇵
