主な見どころ
Yoroi-no-sode
Great rock walls made of rhyolite and dacite exposed by erosion. The eastern side wall is a bedrock of extended columnar structure some 65m in height and approx. 200m in width. The triangular wall on the tip is formed with numerous extensions of columnar joints and platy joints, which appear like a sleeve of Japanese armor (Yoroi-no-sode) which the site was named after. There are strange-shaped rocks in the sea such as Takasu Rock and Hachinosu Rock formed by erosion.
