About this spot
A strange rock formation along the coast on the road heading from Kotohikihama toward Hamatsumeand Amino, named for its resemblance to a folding screen. The rock face, sculpted by waves over many years, is impressive, and just stopping to view it briefly gives you a sense of the dynamic coastline characteristic of Kyotango. The views from nearby high points and along the road are excellent, offering a landscape that previews the transparency of Hamatsumeuyukihigaura Beach waters. It's also enjoyable to ponder with children "how did this shape form?"
