- Sandanbeki Cave - Nestled beneath the cliffs, Sandanbeki Cave is a vast sea cavern where history and legend converge. Legend has it that the Kumano Suigun, the naval warriors of medieval Japan, once concealed their ships here. As visitors descend, the sound of crashing waves and the mist of saltwater fill the air, showcasing the immense power that crafted this natural marvel. Smooth rock walls and tide-worn formations bear the marks of the endless clash between water and stone. Illuminated pathways guide visitors deep inside, where they can sense both the ancient might of the Pacific and the spirit of the people who once dared to face it—a living testament to nature’s strength and human resilience.
- Sandambeki Rock Cliff - Rising above the deep blue Pacific, the Sandanbeki Cliffs offer one of southern Wakayama’s most striking coastal vistas. Spanning nearly two kilometers, these layered sandstone walls have been shaped by waves and wind over millions of years. Their name, meaning “three-tiered walls,” reflects the cliffs’ unique formation resembling a giant staircase carved by nature. Standing at the edge, visitors can feel the ocean’s raw energy and understand why sailors and locals have revered this site for centuries. Once a crucial landmark for navigation and a symbol of Kumano’s maritime culture, Sandanbeki remains a breathtaking reminder of the dialogue between the sea’s power and the Earth’s artistry.
- Senjojiki - Just a short walk from Sandanbeki is Senjojiki, a vast sandstone terrace whose name means “a thousand tatami mats.” Its expansive, flat surface, formed by waves and wind, extends toward the Pacific like a natural stage. The rock’s elegant curves and layered patterns change color with the shifting light, from gold to amber to soft gray, making it a favorite spot for photography and quiet reflection. Here, the rhythm of waves and the ocean breeze create a sense of timeless calm. Senjojiki is more than a viewpoint—it is a living sculpture, shaped by the sea and sky into one of Wakayama’s most poetic coastal landscapes.
