Coastal fossil beds and circular potholes at Yamashina reveal layered Okuwa strata — dramatic textures, fossil impressions and tide-polished rock make strong macro and wide-angle subjects. Visit at low tide and golden hour for warm side lighting; site is roadside-accessible with limited parking and no entry fee. Respect protected geology and local signage; weekdays and early mornings reduce visitors and fishermen activity.
