About this place
Cape Hirakubo is the northernmost point of Ishigaki Island, at the tip of the long Hirakubo Peninsula. From the hill where its white lighthouse stands you see the East China Sea on one side and the Pacific on the other.
Allow about 40 minutes from New Ishigaki Airport and over an hour from the city. The car park is small and can mean a short wait at busy times; the mapcode lands just short of the lighthouse viewpoint. Wind at the tip is strong, so hold on to hats.

How to enter this in your car navigation
- On the navigation home screen, choose Destination (目的地).
- Choose Mapcode (マップコード) from the search methods.
- Type the digits, then the asterisk and the last two digits.
- Confirm the map preview shows the right area before you set the route.
Most Japanese rental cars (Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Times, Orix) accept mapcodes. Some older units ignore the *nn suffix. That is fine, because it only refines the pin.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the mapcode for Cape Hirakubo?
- The mapcode is 1036 068 543*04, pointing at a spot in 沖縄県. Written as decimal degrees the same point is 24.609322, 124.316032. A navigation unit takes the mapcode in far fewer keystrokes than the coordinates, so enter the code.
- What is a mapcode?
- A mapcode is a short numeric code that identifies a spot in Japan, developed by Denso. Japanese car navigation systems accept it directly, which avoids typing a Japanese address on a Japanese keyboard.
- How do I enter a mapcode in a Japanese rental car?
- On the navigation unit choose Destination (目的地), then Mapcode (マップコード), then type the digits. The two digits after the asterisk are an optional precision suffix; older units simply ignore them.
- What do the digits after the asterisk mean?
- They are a high-resolution suffix that narrows the point to roughly a few metres. Without them the code still resolves, just to a slightly wider area.
