Located at Motoyama Cape at the southern tip of Yamaguchi Prefecture, "Kuguri-iwa" is a natural work of art created over many years by the erosion of the Seto Inland Sea's waves, which carved large holes through the rock. At low tide, you can pass through the holes in the rock, and the blue sea and sky seen from there are as beautiful as a painting contained within a natural frame. At dusk, the sunlight of the setting sun dyes the rock face red, creating an even more mysterious atmosphere. It is also a geologically valuable spot, a hidden gem where you can feel the Earth's pulse while listening to the sound of waves away from the city hustle. It is an ideal spot for travelers who want to quietly converse with nature.

Onoda Cement Tokkuri-gama Kiln

Built in 1883 (Meiji 16), this is the only remaining "bottle-shaped" cement firing kiln in Japan. It is designated as a National Important Cultural Property and is a precious remain that tells the story of the dawn of the cement industry that supported Japan's modern architecture. As its name suggest, the red brick kiln with a unique shape like a "tokkuri" (sake bottle) is the crystallization of the wisdom of the artisans at that time who repeatedly tried and erred while learning Western technology. The heavy texture of the bricks and the unique form are extremely attractive to architecture fans...

Industrial Tourism Tour (Kosan Road)

This tour explores the "stage of giant industry," a sight rarely seen anywhere else in the world, of which Ube City is proud.
