The park is famous for the 'Wild Narcissus Festival' which occurs annually between December and February.
The landscape features rare columnar joints, which are hexagonal basalt rock formations created by volcanic cooling.
Tsumekizaki Lighthouse is a notable white octagonal structure that has been operating since 1937.
The park serves as a habitat for specific coastal plant species adapted to the salt-spray environment of the Izu coastline.
Cape Tsumekizaki Natural Park is a coastal park located at the tip of the Suzaki Peninsula in Shimoda, Shizuoka Prefecture. The area is renowned for its field of approximately three million wild narcissus flowers that bloom annually during the winter season. The park features a distinct white lighthouse and provides panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and the Izu Islands. Visitors can explore walking trails that wind through columnar jointed rocks formed by ancient volcanic activity. The park grounds include open green spaces for picnicking and ocean-facing observation points. Its geographical position makes it a significant site for observing coastal flora and geology within the Izu Peninsula UNESCO Global Geopark.

Bring binoculars for better views of the offshore Izu Islands.
Wear sturdy walking shoes as the coastal paths feature uneven, rocky terrain.
Pack wind-resistant layers, as the cape is exposed to strong sea breezes throughout the year.
Do not attempt to walk on the slippery, jagged rocks near the shoreline when the tide is high or the sea is rough.
The park is open year-round, though the main flower displays are seasonal in winter.
Do not pick or remove the wild flowers. Stay on designated paths to protect the fragile coastal ecosystem.
