A scenic spot in Tosashimizu City, southwest of Kochi Prefecture. It is located at the base of Cape Chihiro, about 15 kilometers west of Cape Ashizuri. Along with Minokoshi on the opposite shore, it is home to a series of scenic spots such as Otake Kodake and Senjojiki, which were formed by wave and wind erosion of the monoclinic sandstone and mudstone layers. In 1970, it was designated as one of the first underwater parks in Japan (renamed Marine Parks in 2010), and at the Ashizuri Submarine Aquarium located offshore, you can enjoy watching schools of subtropical fish swimming among the reef-building corals. It is one of the core areas of Ashizuri-Uwakai National Park. [Masaki Hisahito] The photo shows Otake and Kodake, which were formed by wave and wind erosion of rocks. Ashizuri-Uwakai National Park.
