Oyayubi Point (69°15′S 39°39′E) is a rocky point marking the southern end of Oyayubi Island which lies close off Langhovde Hills, Queen Maud Land. Mapped from surveys and air photos by Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE), 1957-62. The name "Oyayubi-misaki" (thumb point) was given by JARE Headquarters in 1972 in association with Cape Nakayubi, which lies immediately northward.
