A mysterious scenic spot in the mountains of Ube City where countless quartz porphyry boulders, several meters in diameter, are piled up. The dynamic sight as if rocks overflowed from the mountainside is spectacular, and it is designated as a National Natural Monument. Locations where such giant boulders are exposed over a wide area are rare, and you can directly feel the energy of Earth's crustal movements. Seasonal plants peek out from between the rocks, letting you feel a powerful breath of life within the silence. The time spent walking along the maintained promenade surrounded by overwhelming natural stone art gives you a sense of mysterious adventure away from the city hustle.
