Heart Rock, which appears quietly from the sea only for about 1 hour before and after low tide on the steep rocky shore of the beautiful Akaogi coast of Tatsugo Town, is a miraculous "heart-shaped natural tide pool" that beach enthusiasts and lovers from all over the world admire, created by the fierce rough waves of the Pacific Ocean over many years carving Ryukyu limestone. The beautiful heart-shaped water surface filled with emerald green seawater with outstanding transparency is overwhelmingly photogenic, glittering in the sunlight, and is globally popular on SNS. The path walking through the beautiful white sand beach surrounded by rich subtropical primeval forests is also full of adventure, and it is the best power spot where you can luxuriously experience the wild natural vitality of the earth and the art of love with your five senses.
