Tojinbo Cliffs

Tojinbo Cliffs is a large-scale columnar jointing that stretches for about 1 kilometer. Standing at the edge of the cliffs can make your legs tremble involuntarily. Such large-scale columnar jointing is rare even in the world and is counted among the 'Three Great Unusual Landscapes of the World'! Its rarity is recognized nationwide, and it has been designated as a 'Natural Monument of Japan' and selected as one of the 'Top 100 Geological Sites of Japan'. Additionally, it is known as a famous spot for sunsets and has been selected as one of the 'Top 100 Sunset Spots in Japan'. In recent years, it has also become a topic of conversation as a spot where you can see the 'Green Flash', a phenomenon where the sun glows green for a few seconds as it sets on the horizon, a few times a year.

Tojinbo

The scenic cliffs made by wave erosion stretch for about one kilometer. An awesome creation of raging waves in the Japan Sea. This is a world wonder and I am surprised that the tour buses have not found their way here. This place is probably Japan’s best kept secret for the locals to enjoy and not open to too much foreign tourists. The cliffs and rock formations are amazing!! Beyond description!! It was very windy so the waves was big and furious and it formed the most amazing pictures. If you get a chance, do come for a day trip and enjoy the Sea of Japan, the beautiful cliffs, and the sea breeze. #givethanks #givethanks
