Tategasaki, Rock formation at coastal Kumano, Japan.
The volcanic rock formations of Tategasaki rise 80 meters from the ocean, creating a natural monument along the Japanese coastline.
Tategasaki appears in Japan's first historical records as the landing site of Emperor Jimmu during his journey to establish the Yamato state.
The rock formations of Tategasaki integrate into local Shinto traditions and maritime customs, forming part of the regional identity.
Visitors can explore Tategasaki through guided boat tours or walking trails, with both options providing different perspectives of the formations.
The site features a natural blue grotto where the interplay of sunlight and seawater creates color variations throughout the day.
