Nishikigaura, Coastal cliff formation in Atami, Japan
The Nishikigaura cliff stretches for one kilometer along the coast, featuring distinctive rock formations shaped by volcanic activity and ocean waves.
The name Nishikigaura originates from the five-colored reflections of sunlight on the water surface, reminiscent of Kyoto's traditional brocade patterns.
The cliff area contains several rocks named after samurai helmets and traditional Japanese headwear, reflecting Japanese cultural symbolism in nature.
Visitors can reach Nishikigaura by taking a 15-minute bus ride from JR Atami Station toward Ajiro, getting off at the Nishikigaura stop.
The 80-meter-high cliffs display various geological formations, with Kabuto Rock, Eboshi Rock, and Benten Rock emerging from the intense ocean waves.
