Overview

Rare hexagonal basalt sea cliffs rising 25m, one of only three such formations worldwide.

Dramatic columnar basalt sea cliffs rising 25 meters above the Sea of Japan, one of only three places in the world with this specific hexagonal rock formation at such scale. Sightseeing boats navigate beneath the towering rock columns, and a cliffside walking path connects viewpoints along the 1-kilometer coastline. Sunset views across the sea to the horizon are spectacular.
