Natural sculptural beauty: over 40 unique rock formations in a line

About this spot

Stretching about 850 meters from the Kushimoto coast toward Oshima Island, over 40 rock formations of various sizes line up in a perfectly straight formation. Designated as a National Scenic Beauty and Natural Monument, these rocks are known for their geologically unique natural formation resembling bridge pilings. The contrast with sunset and sunrise is also famous for its beauty. A roadside station is adjacent, convenient for rest and souvenir shopping. At low tide, you can walk closer to the rocks and experience their impressive scale firsthand.
