見残し海岸 Minokoshikaigan Minokoshi Coast
|
This coast of exquisite beauty got its name Minokoshi (literally meaning “left unseen”) because the path to the coast was so steep that Kobodaishi gave up seeing the sight of it. The coast is located at the tip of a headland in Chihiro Peninsula further south from Tatsukushi Beach. Like Tatsukushi Coast, the coast of Minokoshi is made up of the shale and sandstone strata called the Tatsukushi Formation, which was formed about 20 million years ago. This coast is characterized by honeycomb formations created by a long-term erosion of sea winds and waves. Contrary to the masculine impression of Cape Ashizuri, the seascapes of Tatsukushi and Minokoshi give soft and feminine impression. 1-hour walk will be enough to enjoy looking around various rock formations including the ancient water ripple marks and “the folding screen rock.”
