The vermilion Rokkakudo (六角堂) tied to Okakura Tenshin (岡倉天心) and a superb sea view

About this spot

A small vermilion hall standing on the rocks of a cliff, just a short distance from the Tenshin Memorial Museum of Art (天心記念五浦美術館). It is said that Okakura Tenshin (岡倉天心), called the father of modern Japanese art, designed it himself and used it as a place for contemplation, and around the hall a powerful landscape unfolds with the rough Pacific waves close at hand. Peering inside the hall or gazing at the sea beyond the rocks makes it popular as a photogenic spot too. Facing openly toward the sea, it is a moment that lets you feel the expanse of the water you are about to swim in.

Tips

You can view it from within the grounds with a museum admission ticket. The promenade near the rocks can get wet and slippery underfoot, so shoes that are easy to walk in are recommended over sandals. On windy days hats blow off easily, so take care.

Best time to visit

About 30 minutes. In the soft light of morning the color of the sea looks beautiful
