*''Japanese'': 辺戸岬 ''(Hedo no misaki)''
Hedo no misaki, or Cape Hedo, is the northernmost point on [[Okinawa Island]]. On a particularly clear day, [[Yoronjima]] is visible from Hedo.
Hedo is believed to have been a notable stopping-off point in the progression of southern migration into Okinawa Island in the ancient and medieval periods. Both deities such as [[Aoriyae]] and [[Amamiku]] and legendary/historical figures such as [[Minamoto no Tametomo]] are said to have come into Okinawa from the north via Hedo no misaki.
Legends also tell that the people of Hedo themselves came originally from [[Okinoerabujima]], traveling south through Yoronjima and [[Iheyajima]] before settling at Hedo.
