Bungo Futamigaura (豊後二見ケ浦) - Kamiura
Two large sacred rocks off the coast held together by a rope woven out of straw (shimenawa), this sight is lovely at day time but exceptional at sunrise when the sun rises between the two rocks. This spot is one of the 100 top spots in Japan to watch the first sunrise of the new year, and the rope is the longest in the world at 65 meters long. |
