Nabetsuru Rock

Oddly shaped rocks are the symbol of the island! Also recommended at night when it is illuminated!

The unique shape of the rock, which resembles the vine of a pot, is the origin of its name. Nabetsuru Iwa, the symbol of the island, was formed by waves and wind erosion, which caused the soft parts of the rock to collapse little by little, forming a natural arch shape. There is an observatory by the side of the road along the coast, which is an excellent photo spot. It is lit up at night, and if the timing is right, you can see a fantastic sight with the fishing fires offshore in the background. It is also worth seeing in the morning sun! Enjoy a relaxing island time while gazing at the symbol of the island.
