At Tojinbo, the dramatic cliffs of columnar joints form the heart of its natural wonder. Rising 25 meters above the Sea of Japan, these spectacular rock formations manifest nature’s raw power. The sunset view here is particularly enchanting as the sinking sun bathes both cliffs and sea in golden light, creating an otherworldly scene. In winter, powerful waves crash against the rocks in an impressive display of nature’s force, while each season brings its own distinct beauty to this captivating landscape.
Getting there: About 40 minutes by car from Kanazu IC on Hokuriku Expressway. Parking available.
