💡 Tips for Visitors

Visit during sunset for the most spectacular views and bring good walking shoes for exploring the coastal trails. The parking lot has limited space (7-8 spots) but was recently renovated; alternatively, you can walk 26 minutes from Rikuzen-Hamada Station for scenic route. Come prepared with cash as this natural area likely has no facilities or English signage.
