Cape Kannon (Japanese: 観音崎=Kannonzaki) is a cape at the easternmost point of the Miura Peninsula, which divides Tokyo Bay from the Pacific Ocean.

It is on a rocky coast where the Kannonzaki Lighthouse, Japan's first modern lighthouse (after two reconstructions) stands,[1] and faces the Uraga Channel, Japan's busiest sea lane.

Cape Kannon is located 3 kilometers east from Uraga Station of Keikyu Main Line railway. It is now part of Kannonzaki Park. The visitors to the Cape Kannon area can enjoy "Ship watching".[2]
