"Tenjinzaki" in Tanabe City is a spectacular scenic spot famous as the "Uyuni Salt Flat of Japan," where water pools in the rocky areas at low tide and reflects the sky like a mirror. Especially at dusk on a windless day, the colors of the sky reflect perfectly on the water surface, and you can take mystical photos. This is also famous as the birthplace of Japan's "National Trust movement," with a history of protecting beautiful nature through the power of citizens. By checking the low tide times in advance, you can experience the mystical art created by great nature, making it an irresistible place for photography-loving travelers.
