A stone song monument overlooking the Naruto Strait and its famous whirlpools (Uzushio). Photographers can combine intimate details of the carved stele with sweeping seascapes, the Ōge Bridge and tidal rips. Best at spring/autumn when visibility is clear; plan around peak whirlpool times (check local tide charts). Lighting: golden hour and just after sunrise for warm side light on the monument and soft seascapes; sunset can silhouette the bridge. Site is roadside with a small observation area—no
