Here, one of Japan's oldest geological strata from about 400 million years ago continuous for about 2 kilometers as a sheer precipice cliff (vertical unusual rocks), and its rugged yet beautiful appearance attracts geology fans and adventurers worldwide as the highlight of the "Shikoku Seiyo Geopark."
