Steep, eroded sandstone/clay cliffs run for kilometers along the Pacific — dramatic vertical faces, layered strata and scattered sea stacks make strong graphic compositions. Best at sunrise for warm side-light and long shadows; winter storms add mood. Accessible from coastal road and small parking areas near viewpoints (no entry fee). Cliff edges are unstable — stay on marked paths. Reachable by train/bus from Chōshi; bring windproof gear and ND/grad filters for sea exposures.
