Cape Irago (伊良湖岬, Irago-misaki?) is the terminal point of land at the west end of Atsumi Peninsula in southern Aichi Prefecture, Japan. The cape forms one side of the entrances to Ise Bay and Mikawa Bay, which are divided by the Chita Peninsula. Because it is a crucial landmark for ships Irago Lighthouse is located in the cape to help guide and warn passing ships.[1]
