ナナメ上↗︎上天草 Experiences Rock Collection

Kamiamakusa is the only place where you can enjoy a tour that takes in magnificent views under your eyes while visiting strangely-shaped rocks at the same time. The true form of the rugged rocks is a different shape for each person that sees them. However, maybe you can see a heart or lion? Superb views unique to Kamiamakusa with the mysterious terrain near to the mountains and sea extend out under your eyes from the summits of Ryugatake, Jiromarudake and Taromarudake.

There are rugged rocks all over Kamiamakusa. However, the Lion Rock of Jiromarudake is the place where you can take the most impactful photographs. You may be able to get closer to the king of beasts if you dare to climb to the tip of the lion's nose. It takes one hour to climb Jiromarudake to Lion Rock. There is a steep mountain path on the way. Therefore, we recommend you at least wear sneakers so you don't get tired!

We will next introduce you to Dago Rock that maintains a tottering balance. The size of the rock is huge at five meters long and three meters wide. Its balance is such that it will make you worried about when it will collapse. However, it somehow remains in this mysterious state.

Finally, we have the Face Rock of Iwajima. The impact is amazing if you see it up-close. It sits so that the powerful face like a troll stares down at you. It is a giant rock with a height close to two meters. Maybe you may also find a mind greatly exceeding (NANAME-UE) your expectations residing in it if you stare into its eyes?
