Toujinbo
Tojinbo is famous for its large-scale columnar joints that stretch about 1 km. The view from the cliffs is breathtaking and has a stunning power that can leave one speechless. Tojinbo has been designated as a "National Natural Monument" and is also listed among the "Top 100 Geological Sites in Japan." Additionally, it is known as a famous sunset spot and has been selected as one of the "Top 100 Sunsets in Japan." In recent years, it has gained attention as a location where one can witness the "Green Flash," a momentary green light that occurs during sunset. Visitors can also enjoy sightseeing boats from the sea and views from above, with a variety of services available. The surrounding area is home to many shops serving the local specialty, Echizen soba, making it well worth a visit.
