Tsuki no Misaki (月の岬 (or 月の見崎) Tsuki no Misaki), meaning "Headland of the Moon", was a name formerly in use for part of a plateau in Mita, Minato-ku, Tokyo in Japan. One explanation of the name is that it was considered a particularly good place to view the moon over what is now Tokyo Bay.
In the Edo period, it was well known as one of seven capes (Nanasaki (七崎)) around the Edo area, the other six being Shiomizaki (潮見崎), Sodegazaki (袖が崎), Ōsaki (大崎), Kōranzaki (荒蘭崎), Chiyogasaki (千代が崎) and Chōnangasaki (長南が崎).
The name had become obsolete by the middle or late Meiji period, when references were made to the loss of the view due to new buildings.
Akimoto Chūnagon (秋元中納言) composed a tanka on Tsuki no Misaki:
There are some origin candidates for it, which might be originated from admiration of nice view including the moon.
Japanese artist Hiroshige designed a couple of prints of the moon seen over the bay from within a tea-house or brothel on Tsuki no Misaki. Some doubt has been expressed as to whether these prints depict this location, or one at Yatsuyama (八つ山) in Shinagawa, but Yatsuyama was leveled and its soil was used to construct Daiba in the late Edo period.
