💡 Tips for Visitors

Access requires a 90-minute coastal hiking trail from Aneyoshi or a chartered boat, so wear sturdy shoes and check weather conditions before visiting. The area is extremely remote with no facilities, shops, or English signage, so bring all necessary supplies including water and snacks. Best visited during summer months (June-September) when trail conditions are safer and the sea is calmer for boat access.
