Yoroinosode, Natural monument cliff in Kami, Japan.

Located along the Kasumi Coast, Yoroinosode features sandstone and mudstone deposits from the Lower Miocene Yaeyama Group, forming distinct rock formations.

The geological structure developed over centuries through natural erosion processes, creating formations that became an essential part of the local landscape.

The name translates to Sleeve of Armor in Japanese, as the rock formations mirror the appearance of traditional samurai armor sleeves.

Visitors can reach the site through local transportation from nearby urban centers, with recommendations to bring food and water for the excursion.

The cliff formation contains diverse marine life in its surrounding waters, presenting opportunities for diving and snorkeling activities throughout the year.
