Standing tall along the coastline of Kumano City, "Tategasaki" is a massive columnar rock wall reaching approximately 80 meters in height and about 600 meters in circumference. The natural artistic beauty called "columnar jointing," looking like countless pillars lined up, is overwhelming and truly a masterpiece created by Mother Nature. While it can be reached via a hiking trail from the land, the "Tategasaki Sightseeing Cruise," which allows you to view its full scale from the sea, is also popular. The dynamic landscape woven by the blue sea, white rock surfaces, and rough rock textures makes it a top spot for photography enthusiasts.
