Located on Chiburijima Island, the smallest island of the Oki chain with untouched nature. The main highlight is the "Sekiheki" (Red Cliff), where a vertical red cliff over 100 meters high stretches for 1 kilometer. From the island's highest peak, "Mt. Akahage," you can enjoy a 360-degree panorama of the Sea of Japan and the Oki Islands. There are more cows and horses than people, and the peaceful pasture scenery looks like another world. It is a hidden place where you can enjoy the simple kindness of the islanders and quiet "island time."

The sight of these colorful cross-sections exposed by the rough waves of the Sea of Japan is as if you are directly witnessing the energy of the Earth. The scale viewed from a sightseeing boat is breathtaking, a dynamic scenic spot symbolizing the Oki Geopark where geological beauty and the...

Mt. Akahage

The highest peak on Chiburijima Island (325m), a vantage point boasting Oki's finest panoramic views. From the summit, you can overlook the caldera topography created by Oki's Dozen islands (Nishinoshima, Nakanoshima, Chiburijima) and see the beautiful arrangement of the islands as if in the palm of your hand.
