Kanamisaki Sago Palm Tunnel
(金見崎ソテツトンネル)
This narrow pathway through a 200 meter-long tunnel of sago palm trees gives a tropical island feeling. Some of the trees are said to be as much as 400 years old. As you come out of the tunnel, you are met with a breathtaking view of azure sea.
From June to July, as the end of the raining season draws near, Coenobita hermit crabs gather on the nearby beach to lay eggs.
