This is total dreamy place with beautiful rocks. It could easily be a set for next disney or Hollywood movies. Just go and check out. Those rocks will amaze you.

I rode an electric bicycle to here. Kind of exhausted but it was worth my hard working. Magnificient

Beautiful place! One of the best scenic spots on the island.

Amazing experience. It didn’t feel like I was in Japan. It’s not too accessible but worth traveling. Small island with friendly people. You can rent a bicycle at a tourist office in the harbor.

(Translated by Google) It is a dynamic scenic spot representative of Oki and registered as a UNESCO Global Geopark. The entire west coast of Nishinoshima Town is overwhelmed by the beauty of nature, with large cliffs and strangely shaped rocks rising due to the intense sea erosion of the Sea of ​​Japan. You can enjoy a magnificent view of the ocean. There is a promenade from Kunigahama to Matengai, and the view of the Kuniga coastline from the sea is also spectacular. (Original) ユネスコ世界ジオパークに登録された、隠岐を代表するダイナミックな景勝地です。 西ノ島町の西海岸一帯は、日本海の激しい海食作用を受けて大断崖・奇岩がそそり立ち、大自然の造形美に圧倒されます。雄大なオーシャンビューの絶景を望めます。 この国賀浜から摩天崖までは、遊歩道があり、また、海上から眺める国賀海岸の景観も絶品ですね。

(Translated by Google) It's great when the weather is nice. There is a significant difference in elevation between the Kuniga Beach parking lot and the Matengai Parking Lot, so we recommend that you research this in advance. Although it costs money, sightseeing taxis may be the best option, so I recommend booking early as there are only two companies. (Original) 天気が良いと最高ですね。 国賀海岸の駐車場と摩天崖の駐車場は高低差がかなりありますので、事前に調べてから行くことをオススメします。 お金はかかりますが、観光タクシーがベストかもしれませんので2社しかないのでお早めに予約するといいと思います。

(Translated by Google) Since I couldn't see Candle Island, I was satisfied with Candle Rock. Even if the weather is nice, if the wind blows, the boat will be canceled. I've seen it from the sea on a sightseeing boat, but you can get a closer look from here. There is a different kind of impact from the sea. (Original) ローソク島が見れなかったのでローソク岩で納得。お天気が良くても風が吹くと船は欠航してしまいます。海上からも遊覧船で見ましたがこちらの方がじっくりは見れますね。海上からはまた別の迫力があります。

(Translated by Google) From the Kuniga Coast Observation Deck to the top of the skyscraper cliff, you will first go down to the Kuniga Shrine on the seaside, and then go all the way up. The journey should be less than 2 kilometers, passing through three platform terrains, and finally reaching the top of a 257-meter-high skyscraper cliff. Therefore, the climbing sections are actually quite steep, but the overall road condition is quite good. There is almost no shade in the entire section of the road, so be sure to pay attention to sun protection and hydration. There are restrooms at the Kuniga Coast Observation Deck, next to Kuniga Shrine, and on the top of the skyscraper cliff, but the water in these places is not drinkable; the coin-operated drink machines are only at the Kuniga Coast Observation Deck. If you don’t bring a If you have enough water, buy it here. There are currently Ichibata buses arriving at the Kuniga Coast Observation Deck. (Original) 從國賀海岸展望台，走到摩天崖頂，路途會先下到海邊的國賀神社，再一路往上行。路程應該不到2公里，中途會經過三個平台地型，最終抵達高257公尺的摩天崖頂，所以爬坡路段其實都頗陡的，但整體路況相當不錯。 整段路幾乎沒有樹蔭，所以防曬跟水份的補充都要注意。在國賀海岸展望台、國賀神社旁、以及摩天崖頂，都有洗手間，但這些地方的水都是不可生飲的；投幣式飲料機只在國賀海岸展望台這邊，如果沒有帶夠水，就在這裡買足吧。 目前一畑巴士有班次抵達國賀海岸展望台。

(Translated by Google) Although this is not a designated swimming beach, you can enjoy observing the rocky shore and playing on the pebble beach. Kuniga Beach is home to Kuniga Shrine, Kannon Rock, and the scenic spot Tsutenkyo Bridge. You can walk down to the beach from the parking lot. (Original) ここは指定された海水浴場ではありませんが、磯観察や小石の浜での遊びを楽しむことができます。国賀浜には、国賀神社、観音岩、名勝「通天橋（つうてんきょう）」等があります。駐車場から徒歩で海岸まで下っていけます。

Breathtakingly gorgeous! Feels worlds away from the Japan you're used to. One of the most beautiful scenic spots I've ever seen in Japan. Will have to come back in a summer season to experience the island when everything is lush and green. Loved it.

Once in a life time experience. If you like hiking and amazing scenery view, you should definitely visit here. They don’t have a public transport to reach here and it’s very far from the port. So waking seems unreachable. But you can rent a bicycle or a car. The road from the port to cliff is very steep, even if we are sitting in the car. You can choose to hike from bottom or from the top, it takes about 1.5 hours (slow walk).

Amazing experience walking in a very scenic spot with wild horses and cows on the walking path!

Amazing landscape! A must visit with a local boat tour

Beautiful spot! Watch out for cows on the way though!

Awesome place. Truly the highlight of nishinoshima. The day we went it was very very windy so we couldn't enjoy it that much but nonetheless it was good.

My American friend was so impressed by the view of the island, it became the highlight of our trip. If you like hiking, this is a great place to visit. Photographs will only tell you a little about the great view.

One of the best experiences I’ve had in Japan. Felt like heaven.

This shrine is actually on the site of the central cinder cone that formed the Oki-dozen islands. The shrine itself is built into a cave (possibly an old vent?) and is simply gorgeous. There are little shrines all over the area that should be visited too. They recently improved the path up the from the parking lot too!

Very nice shrine, in the middle of nature.

Nice hike from the car park. Apparently they do a big festival here once a year.

This Shrine is on top of the mountain. And you have to walk about 15 minutes from the parking.

There's WiFi. And the view is great.

👌👌🙏🙏

(Translated by Google) You can hike from the Meitian settlement at the foot of the mountain to the trailhead, or you can take the forest road next to the fire kiln by Gengxi River, bike or drive up the mountain. There is a small parking lot and simple pavilion next to the trailhead. There were many bamboo poles in the pavilion. After I got down the mountain, I thought that these bamboo poles might be borrowed by hikers. On the way to the mountain, I saw a small snake on the trail. In addition, although I did not go to the top of the mountain this time, It looks like the grass is thicker on the branch road leading to the top of the mountain. This is not a popular sightseeing route, so there should be many opportunities to encounter some wild animals. The path up the mountain is paved with concrete steps at the beginning. After reaching the torii gate in front of the shrine, it turns into a gravel road in the direction of the shrine. The side road leads to the top of the mountain. It looks more sparsely populated, somewhat similar. Humans often trample on the path, so the grass next to it is very thick and it is very close to the trail. Trekking poles or the bamboo poles at the trailhead should be necessary equipment. After passing the torii gate, you will first pass by the social affairs office. When you first see the social affairs office, it is a pile of huge stones similar to the base of the castle tower. It feels very special. There is a restroom at the Social Affairs Office, which is located in a very Japanese-style building. There is a Wi-Fi hotspot here, which is really a super considerate service. Going further forward is the shrine itself. It feels like after passing through the tunnel, the sun shines down on the shrine and you finally see it. (Original) 可以從山腳下的美田聚落徒步前往登山口，也可以從更溪邊燒火窯旁的林道，騎車或開車上山，在登山口旁有個小停車場跟簡易涼亭。涼亭內有取多竹竿，我下山後才想到，這些竹竿可能是給登山客借用的；在登山的途中，我在步道上有看到一條小蛇，另外雖然這次沒有走到燒火山頂，但是看起來通往山頂的岔路，草叢更濃密。這裡本來就不是熱門的觀光路線，遇到一些野生動物的機會應該不少。 上山的路徑，一開始的路段是鋪水泥的階梯，到了神社前的鳥居後，往神社的方向變成碎石頭路；旁邊的岔路就是通往山頂了，看起來人煙更稀少，有點類似人類經常踩踏走出的路徑，所以旁邊的草叢很濃密，也離步道很近，登山杖、或這登山口的竹竿應該是必須的裝備。 經過鳥居後，會先經過社務所，初見社務所，會是類似天守閣基座的巨石堆砌，感覺很特別。社務所這邊有洗手間，就在很日式的建築物裡面，這裡有wi-fi熱點，真的是超級貼心的服務。再往前走才是神社本身，有種經過隧道後，陽光灑下神社終見的感覺。

A calm lookout point that is seemingly overgrown. The view here to note is the crater rim that spans and are connected across the islands

(Translated by Google) In Nishinoshima Town, strong winds are called "oni". This place is likely to be named ``Oni-mai Observatory'' because the strong wind blows at this place, which means that ``oni'' dance. You can go up the hill from the parking lot to the observation deck where the gazebo is located. Not only could you see the Sea of ​​Japan, but you could also see the mountains of Honshu in the distance. Please be careful of things left by the cows as you will be moving through pastureland. (Original) 西ノ島町では、強い風のことを「鬼」と呼んでいます。 この場所は強い風が吹くことから「鬼」が「舞う」ということで、「鬼舞展望所」という名前がつけられそうです。 駐車場から丘を上ると、東屋がある展望台まで行くことができます。 日本海を一望できるだけでなく、遠く本州の山々を見ることができました。 放牧地を進むので、牛の落とし物には注意してください。

(Translated by Google) It is a nice observation deck where you can see the whole of Nishinoshima and also Chiburijima. It's a bit tough going up the hill, but if you go up slowly while communicating with the cow, you'll get a nice view. (Original) 西ノ島の全体が見渡せ、また知夫里島も見えるナイスな展望台です。多少坂を上がるのもきついですが、牛くんとコミュニケーションしながらゆっくり上げれば素敵な景色を頂けますよ

(Translated by Google) It is a spectacular spot overlooking the Oki Islands Inland Sea (Dozen Caldera) and the open sea of ​​the Sea of ​​Japan. Many cows still graze in the area surrounding the observatory. In Okishima-mae, a unique rotary farming method called makihata was practiced from the medieval period to modern times, and the stone walls called ``aigaki'' used to separate the pastures and fields remain in the area. Masu. We went up a gentle staircase to the observation deck, but on the way down we walked through a grassy field. (Original) 隠岐島前内海（島前カルデラ）と外海日本海を見渡せる絶景スポットです。展望所までの周辺一帯は現在でも多くの牛が放牧されています。隠岐島前では、中世期から近代まで牧畑（まきはた）という独特な輪転式農法が行われ、牧と畑を分けるための石垣「合垣（あいがき）」がこの周辺に残されています。展望台までは緩やかな階段を上っていきますが、下りは草原の中を歩いて下りてきました。

(Translated by Google) It was a wonderful view! The most famous spots on Nishinoshima may be Kuniga Coast and Matengai, but I'm glad I went there as well. There is a short climb from the parking lot to what looks like an arbor, and from there there is no proper road, but you can walk a little deeper. (Original) 素晴らしい絶景でした！ 西ノ島で一番有名なのは国賀海岸や摩天崖の方かもしれませんが、こちらも行って良かったです。 駐車場から東屋のようなところまで少し登り、そこからは道らしい道はないのですが、もう少し奥まで歩けます。

(Translated by Google) It's a wonderful view, but on the way there, there are cows and horses roaming free on the road, and you can see them up close. (Original) 素晴らしい景色ですが、向かう道中に道路に牛馬が放し飼いされていて、間近で牛馬も見れますよ

(Translated by Google) Is this Japan? The scenery is as wide as you would think. The blue sea, the continuous horizon, the rugged coastline, and the cows grazing leisurely. It's a wonderful place where you can stare at it for a long time. By the way, the observation deck is further up the stairs from there. If you have the physical strength, please come. (Original) ここは日本かぁ？と思うほどの景色が広がっている。青々とした海に、続く水平線、起伏の激しい海岸線、のんびりと草を食む牛たち。ずっと眺めていられるステキな場所です。 ちなみに展望台はさらにそこから階段を昇っていきます。体力のある方は是非。

Around here, there are only a few guesthouses, one hotel, a few sashimi and sushi restaurants, and a few cafes, but it is a peaceful place.

(Translated by Google) Simply put, it's "kindness." Rental bicycles may be booked up on certain dates and cannot be rented. When I asked the man at the counter about sightseeing plans without using a bicycle, he kindly gave me some advice. Also, the taxi driver explained the situation to me, making it a very comfortable and wonderful trip. (The taxi driver was also a nice person) I was able to leave my baggage at the counter for 200 yen (as of July 2023), so I didn't have to carry heavy items. We recommend taking a taxi to Matengai Cliff and walking for about 100 minutes to the bus stop while taking photos. You can see Matengai Cliff, Tsutenkyo Bridge, wild horses, wild cows, heavenly world, etc., and it left a strong impression on me! Arrive by boat around 10 o'clock (I think you can get there until 11 o'clock), take a taxi for about 30 minutes to Matengai, and return by bus at 12:58. Take the high-speed boat departing at 14:12 to the mainland. (There may not be time for lunch... but it might be nice to have some sweets. I can't say anything about the bento shop nearby called Donkey.) It was the best! I’m glad I went! (Original) 端的に言えば、『親切』です。 レンタサイクルは日にちによっては埋まってしまって借りられません。 窓口の男性に自転車を使わない場合の観光案を聞いた所、丁寧に教えて頂けました。 また、タクシーの運転手に状況を説明して下さり、非常に快適な素晴らしい旅行になりました。（タクシーの運転手さんも良い人でした） 手荷物は窓口で一口200円（2023年7月現在）で預けられたため、重いものを運ばずに済みました。 タクシーで摩天崖に行き、写真を撮りながら約100分歩いてバス停まで行くのがおすすめです♪ 摩天崖、通天橋、野生馬、野生牛、天上界等々が見れますし、強く印象に残っています！ 10時前後（11時くらいまでなら何とか行けそう）に船で着いて、タクシーで約30分かけて摩天崖に行き、12:58分発のバスで帰ってくる。14:12発の高速船で本土へ。 （お昼の時間はないかもしれませんが... お菓子とかあると良いかもです。ドンキーという近くの弁当屋さんは何とも言えません） 最高でした！行って良かったです！

(Translated by Google) In the winter of February, when there are few tourists, I reserved an E-BIKE 2 days in advance and used one. It was said that there were 3 people using it that day, including myself. The man at the reception was very calm and polite, and he carefully explained to me where e-bike accidents are most likely to occur and how to ride. It was sunny in the morning, but Then we were hit by hail, rain, and strong winds, I was able to experience the real winter weather on the island, which changes rapidly. I think it was unique to E-BIKEs. I will use it again in a different season next time. (Original) 冬2月、観光客は少ない時期に、 E-BIKE　2日前に予約し、1台利用しました。 その日は自分含めて3人の利用だったとのことです。 受付の男性の方、とても穏やかな丁寧な方で、E-BIKEの事故の起きやすい場所、乗り方＋α丁寧に教えていただけました。 朝は晴れていましたが、 その後雹や雨や大風に見舞われ、 豹変する島のリアルな冬の天気を肌で感じることができたのも、 E-BIKEならではだったと思います。 次は違う季節でまた利用させていただきます。

(Translated by Google) This facility is located at Beppu Port, the gateway to the western islands. It is a convenient facility where you can arrange rental cars and bicycles, as well as receive tourist information. The facility is new, the restrooms are clean, and there are regular coffee vending machines and free WiFi. There was no announcement for the island ferry, so I looked at the timetable and went to the boarding gate myself. (Original) 西の島の玄関口、別府港にある施設です。レンタカーやレンタサイクルの手配もしてもらえて、観光情報も教えてもらえる便利な施設です。施設は新しく、トイレも綺麗で、レギュラーコーヒーの自販機とフリーWiFiがあります。島前連絡船はアナウンスが無いので、時刻表を見て自分で乗船口に行きました。

(Translated by Google) You can get four types of goshuin from the island here. It is written directly. This is not an essential feature of the Goshuin, but the handwriting was extremely beautiful. It would be reasonable to leave your luggage here when you arrive on the island and pick it up on your way back. In remote areas where you don't know whether there will be people or not, you might be unlucky and not be able to get one even if you go there, but a well-prepared tourist spot like this is a great point for goshuin stamp fans. (Original) 島内の御朱印４種はここでいただけます。直書きです。御朱印の本質的なことではないのですが、ものすごくきれいな字でしたよ。島についたらここで預けて帰りに受け取れば合理的です。 人がいるかいないかわからない僻地では現地に行っても運が悪くてもらえないこともあるのに、このような整った態勢がある観光地は御朱印ファンにはうれしいポイント。

(Translated by Google) You can receive the goshuin of Oki Province Ichinomiya, Yurahime Shrine and Yakini Shrine here. Rental cycles are also available. When I visited Nishinoshima for sightseeing, I left my goshuin book here in the morning, rented a bicycle, cycled around the island in time to catch the boat to the mainland in the evening, and returned the goshuin book when I returned the bicycle. I received a goshuin stamp as a gift. (Original) 隠岐國一宮・由良比女神社と、焼火神社の御朱印をこちらで受けられます。 レンタルサイクルもされてます。 観光で西ノ島を訪れた際、朝こちらに御朱印帳を預けて自転車お借りし、夕方の本土行きの船に間に合うように島内を自転車で回り、自転車の返却と併せて預けた御朱印帳を返してもらう形で御朱印いただきました。

(Translated by Google) You can get the shrine stamp here, so it's best to give it out as soon as you arrive. You can find it if you get off the ferry and go down the stairs in the back. (Original) 神社の御朱印はここでもらえるので到着したらすぐに出したほうがいいです フェリーを降りて奥の階段を降りたらあります
