✨ Attractions

This strangely shaped rock formation is said to represent the bridge to Kii-Oshima, lined up like piles.

Stretching 850 meters, the regularly-spaced arrangement of large and small rocks is truly breathtaking.

At low tide, you can walk up close to the rocks, and at high tide, the rock formations appear to float in the sea, creating a mystical sight.

This scenic spot has been designated a national natural monument and selected as one of Japan's 100 best sunrise spots.
