One of the must-see spots on the Oki Islands!

dynamic waterfalls. Main waterfall named Otaki, there is always vast falls like water curtain. After rain, sometimes the second waterfalls "Metaki" appears behind the hand washing place.

Wow. Nicest place

(Translated by Google) The solemn atmosphere of the approach to the shrine is wonderful. Oki Island has deep forests and not only the sea, but also historical spots like this have been carefully preserved. It's located at the end of a narrow road, but it's a must-see. (Original) 厳かな雰囲気の参道が素晴らしいです。隠岐の島は森が深く海だけでなくこの様な歴史あるスポットが大事に残されています。細い車道をひたすら進んだ先にありますが必見です。

(Translated by Google) From the parking lot, pass through the torii gate, walk about 300 meters, and go up the stairs to find it. If you walk all the way to the back, you can see the waterfall from the back. There is also a small waterfall on the left on the way. (Original) 駐車場から鳥居をくぐり、300mほど歩いて階段を上がると見えてくる。奥まで歩くと滝を裏側から見られます。途中左手にも小さな滝あり。

(Translated by Google) It is a beautiful waterfall located in the area of ​​the experienced gods. Ropes have been put up in many places to prevent rocks from falling, and the promenade to the waterfall is in poor condition. This was my third visit, but the water level was low, so it might have been better to wait for the next day's rain before visiting. The approach road was full of fallen leaves, so it was very nerve-wracking for a two-wheeler. (Original) 経験あらたかな神々のエリアに位置する、美しい滝です。あちこちに落石を防止するための立ち入り禁止のロープが張られており、滝への遊歩道の整備状況は悪いです。 3回目の訪問となりましたが、水量が少なく、翌日の雨を待っての訪問の方が良かったかもしれません。アプローチ路は落ち葉だらけで、二輪車としては非常に神経を使いました。

(Translated by Google) It is a beautiful waterfall in the mountains. It is quite far from Xixiang Port and can only be reached by car or chartered car. Although it seems that there is a branch road from National Highway 485 that can be passed, but on the map provided by the car rental company that day, there is a marked road section that is impassable, so we have to go around the coastal Highway 44 and enter the mountain from there; the mountain road is quite narrow, basically It is a single lane, but there are many wider sections where cars can meet. There is a parking lot at the entrance of the waterfall, and there is a restroom next to it, with about 7 parking spaces; after parking the car, walk a short gravel road to reach the bottom of the waterfall. Due to erosion, the stone wall behind the waterfall has retracted inward, causing the water in the waterfall to hang in the air and fall straight down. It is very similar to the Loquat Cave Waterfall in Sandiaoling; so you must also be careful about falling rocks. There is a small shrine on the side directly below the waterfall. Under the deep mountain waterfall, the sky covered by the forest suddenly opens up, letting the sunlight shine on the shrine. It is a very beautiful picture. The chirping of insects and birds in the forest is also very comfortable. (Original) 是個在深山裡的美麗瀑布，距離西鄉港頗遠，只能開車或包車抵達。雖然看起來從國道485號公路有岔路可以過去，但當天租車公司提供的地圖上，有標註路段不能通行，所以要繞沿海的44號公路，從那久進山；山路頗狹窄，基本上是單線通行，不過很多較寬的路段可以會車。 瀑布口有停車場，旁邊有洗手間，大約7個停車格；停好車後在走一小段碎石路就會抵達瀑布下方。這裡因為侵蝕的關係，瀑布後方的石壁是內縮的，讓瀑布的水懸空直下，跟三貂嶺的枇杷洞瀑布很類似；所以也同樣要小心落石。瀑布正下方一側有個小神社，在深山瀑布下，森林遮蔽的天空突然開了一個口，讓陽光灑在神社之上，是個很美麗得圖畫。森林裡的蟲鳴鳥叫，也很舒服。

(Translated by Google) I wasn't confident in driving, so I went there at 7:30 in the morning to avoid encountering oncoming traffic. There was no one there in the morning and I was scared to be alone. It had rained quite a bit the day before, so the waterfall was sprayed with spray from far away, making it very impressive. I had to be careful not to slip on the puddles and mud on the road. There was a sign telling people not to enter the shrine due to falling rocks, but it's in a position where you'll get soaked, so choose the right time. (Original) 運転に自信がないので、対向車に会わないようにと朝7:30に行きました。朝は誰もいなく、ひとりでは怖かったです。前日の結構な雨で滝は遠くから飛沫がかかり大迫力でした。その分、道は水たまりとぬかるみで滑らないように気を使いました。神社は落石の為に侵入しないようにと看板がありましたが、その前にずぶぬれになる位置にあるので時を選びますね。

(Translated by Google) Pass through the torii gate, walk through the forest, and go up the stairs to reach the waterfall. Although it is not wild, it is a very beautiful waterfall. I think it's the best spot on Oki Island. I went on a weekday around 13:00-14:00, and I was alone. The road leading here is a single-car road with almost no escape zone, so it can be quite difficult when an oncoming vehicle comes along. Be careful if you are not good at driving. (Original) 鳥居をくぐって、少し森を歩き、階段を上った先にある滝。荒々しさは無いものの、非常にきれいな滝です。隠岐の島一番のスポットだと思います。 平日の13-14時頃に行きましたが一人でした。ここに通ずる道は、エスケープゾーンほぼなしの、車1台分の一本道ですので、対向車が来た際は結構大変です。運転の苦手な方は注意。

Shrine. Power Spot. Has parking space next to the shrine.

A shrine of major importance and on its ground is a really old tree, now heavily supported on its sides.

This shrine is the oldest shrines in Oki island, and it built in 1793. There was the giant cedar which aged over 2000 years inside the shrine grounds. The prayers building had thick and large straw decoration. Behind the prayers building, there was the main building of the shrine.

One of the most important shrines on the island. An almost 2000 years old Japanese Cedar stands right next to it.

(Translated by Google) This shrine was built as the oldest shrine in Oki, and it is said that if you visit here, you will have visited all the shrines. Here, there is a giant 800 cedar tree that is over 1,000 years old and is a national natural monument. The tree is 30m high and 11m in circumference, and legend has it that it was planted by the immortal Yaobhikuni, and it is said that a large snake is trapped in the cave at its base, and that you can hear the snake's loud snores coming from within the tree. . There are many important cultural monuments here, including the main shrine (built in 1793), Sujinmon (built in 1852), Shake Oki family residence (built in 1801), the Oki-kuni station bell, and the Oki-kura seal. In addition, although it is not an important cultural property, there is a dignified worship hall, and like Izumo, a thick and fine shimenawa rope is wrapped around it. (Original) ここは隠岐の最古の総社として建立された神社で、ここをお参りすれば、すべての神社をお参りしたことになるという。ここには樹齢千数百年という巨木の国の天然記念物の八百杉があります。樹高30m、周囲11mで、伝説では不死となった八百比丘尼が植えたとされ、根本の洞穴には大蛇が閉じ込められ、木の中から大蛇の大いびきが聞こえてくるとも伝えられているようです。 ここには、重文が多くあり、本殿(1793年建築）、隨神門(1852年建築）、社家隠岐家住宅(1801年建築）、その他、隠岐国駅鈴、隠岐倉印などがあります。 また、重文ではないが、重厚な拝殿があり、出雲と同じく太い立派なしめ縄が巻かれています。

(Translated by Google) The main shrine, Suishinmon gate, and former worship hall are nationally designated important cultural properties. I was surprised at how fine the shimenawa was. It still feels new. I haven't decided when to change it. I think it's quite difficult to handle all these things. There is a 2,000-year-old cedar tree designated as a national natural monument within the temple grounds. He looks old, and instead of standing straight, he leans at an angle. Many thick pillars support this huge tree. The height of the tree is 38m, the height of the lightning. The inside is said to be hollow. Still, the green leaves are growing. It has great vitality. (Original) 本殿、隨神門、旧拝殿は国指定重要文化財。 注連縄が立派でびっくり。まだ新しい感じである。替える時期は決めてないとの事。これだけの物を扱うのは、相当大変だと思う。 境内に樹齢2000年の国指定天然記念物の杉がある。見るからに年老いていて、真っ直ぐに立ってなく斜めに傾いている。太い支柱が何本もこの巨木を支えている。樹高38m、雷にあっての高さ。中は空洞という。それでも青葉を繁らせている。凄い生命力である。

(Translated by Google) A shrine with a history. The goshuin stamp is left in front of the shrine, but you can get it written if you go to the museum next door. There are toilets in the parking lot on the right. (Original) 歴史のある神社。御朱印は拝殿前に書き置きがおいてあるけど、隣の資料館に行けば書いてもらえる。右手の駐車場にトイレもちゃんとあります。

(Translated by Google) I had a chance to go to Oki, so I went to Candle Island. It seems to be a fairly famous spot and there are signs everywhere, so I didn't get lost. When the setting sun hits the tops of the pillar-shaped rocks, it looks like a lit candle. So we arrived at the Candle Island Observation Deck just as the sun was setting, but something strange happened. No matter how much I wait, the sunset never appears on Candle Island. Meanwhile, the setting sun moved away from the rock. of course. The orbit of the sun (the ecliptic) changes every day. It doesn't sink in the same place every day. There are probably only a few days a year when the sunset can be seen on the tip of the rock from the observatory. It was pointless. In the end, I ended up with just one photo like this. sorry. (If it's a sunny day on a sightseeing boat, you can definitely see candles.) By the way, rocks that have been eroded into columnar shapes are called this, and candle rocks can be found all over the place. Candle Rock (approx. 45 m high) in Yoichi Town, Yoichi District, Hokkaido, Candle Rock (approx. 40 m high) in Miyako City, Iwate Prefecture, and Candle Rock (approx. 20 m high). The ultimate highlight is Sofu Rock (approximately 100m high). Hmm, Sofu Rock...I admire it. (Original) 隠岐に行く機会があったので、ローソク島に行ってみました。かなり有名なスポットのようで標識がいたるところにあり、迷うことはありませんでした。 柱状の岩の頭に夕陽が載っかると「ローソクに灯がともった」ように見えるのです。そこで日没に合わせて「ローソク島展望台」に到着したわけですが、どうもおかしいのです。いくら待っても夕陽がローソク島に載らないのです。そうこうしているうちに夕陽は岩から離れて行ってしまいました。 それはそうです。太陽の軌道（黄道）は日々変わるのです。毎日同じ場所に沈むわけではないのです。展望台から見て夕陽が岩の先端に載るのは、年に数日しかないのでしょう。無駄骨でした。結局こんな写真一枚で終了してしまいました。すみません。(遊覧船に乗ると晴れていれば確実にローソクが見れるようです。) ところで柱状に浸食された岩をこう呼ぶようで、各地にこのローソク岩があります。北海道の余市郡余市町のローソク岩（高さ約45ｍ）、岩手県宮古市のローソク岩（高さ約40ｍ）、そしてこのローソク島（高さ約20ｍ）。極めつけは孀婦岩（高さ約100ｍ）。 うーん孀婦岩ですか………憧れますねえ。

(Translated by Google) If you go to Okinoshima Town, be sure to board the Candle Island Pleasure Boat. I think it is the number one tourist spot in Okinoshima Town. Personally, my second choice would be Dankyo Falls. Here you can go around the back side of the waterfall and see the waterfall. Of course, Candle Island is affected by the climate. This is not possible when the sun is blocked by clouds or the sea is rough. Fortunately for us, the weather cleared up after the typhoon. Advance reservations are required for the candlelight cruise. Adult 3,000 yen/person. Half price for children. The operating period seems to be from March 15th to November 30th. Boarding time is approximately 50 minutes. There are two departure ports: Fukuura Quay and Akasaki Quay, and the port changes depending on the ship you are boarding. We came from Fukuura quay. There is a waiting room. The port was Nagi, but according to the information from the sightseeing boat, there were quite a few waves in the open sea, so I didn't bring any sickness pills, so I tried to buy some at the convenience store in the waiting area. They don't sell it, but they said they had it on hand, so I was given two tablets. Two men who seemed to be drunk were given drinks. Thank you very much. Up to 6 ships departed from here. Departure time changes depending on the height of the sunset. Candle Island is a slender, strangely shaped rock that towers about 20 meters above the sea off the northwest coast of Dogo. The captain will steer the boat so that the sunset overlaps with the tip of the island. The guide on the sightseeing boat says, ``At that moment, it shines like a giant candle lit. It's a romantic and moving moment that can only be seen from the boat.'' That's exactly what happened. We also applaud the captain's excellent ship handling ability. The sightseeing boat was fascinated by many things other than Candle Island, including caves opened by nearby sea erosion and strange-looking rocks. (Original) 隠岐の島町に行かれたら、ろうそく島遊覧船は、是非とも乗船して下さい。隠岐の島町では、一番の観光スポットではないかと思います。個人的には、2番目は、壇鏡の滝でしょうか。こちらは、滝の裏側に回って滝を眺めることが出来ます。 ろうそく島は、もちろん気候に影響されてしまいます。雲で太陽が遮られていたり、海が荒れている時は、無理ですね。 我々は、幸いにも台風後で晴れてくれました。 ろうそく遊覧船は、事前予約が必要です。大人3,000円/1人。小人半額。運行期間は、3月15日～11月30日となっているようです。乗船時間約50分。出発する港は、2ヵ所あり、福浦岸壁と赤崎岸壁で、乗船対象の船によって港が変わります。我々は、福浦岸壁からでした。待合室があります。港は、なぎでしたが、観光船からの情報では、外海は、結構、波があるとの事で、酔い止めを持って来てなかったので、待合所のコンビニで買おうとしましたが、売ってませんが、手持ちがあるとの事で、2錠もらえました。酔いそうな男二人が飲ませてもらいました。有難かったです。 ここからは、最大６隻が出航していました。陽の入りの高さに応じて出航時刻が変わります。 ろうそく島は、島後の北西の沖合いに海から約20メートルの高さで、細くそびえ立つ奇岩ローソク島。船長さんが、島の先端に夕日が重なるように操船してくれます。観光船の案内では、「その瞬間、まるで一本の巨大ローソクに火を灯したように輝く。船上からしか観ることの出来ないロマンチックで感動の一瞬」との事。まさにその通りでした。船長の操船能力の高さにも拍手喝采です。 観光船は、ろうそく島以外も、近くの海食によって開けられた洞窟や、奇岩があり、色々、魅了されました。

(Translated by Google) It was barely sunny, but the 13-person fishing boat was rocking the waves and experiencing a blizzard, but I'm glad I got to see it. The boatman worked hard to light a candle during the swells. (Original) かろうじて晴れだが13人乗りの釣船は揺れ波吹雪の洗礼でしたが見られてよかったです。うねりの中船頭さんが懸命にろうそくの火を合わせてくれました。

(Translated by Google) Until I came here, I had been worried about the weather, but it turned out to be a sunny day, which was great! I've come all the way to Oki! On this day, the typhoon passed and there seemed to be some wind, but I'm really glad that the ship managed to leave the port. However, the waves were quite strong, so I was shaking quite a bit. Perhaps because it was shaking and because there were a lot of other similar sightseeing boats, I was a little disappointed that I was only able to take pictures of the windows of passengers on the opposite side of the boat I was on. I had to change seats for the photo shoot, but I'll be careful. (Sweat) While taking the photo, I noticed that maybe it was due to the amount of time I had to wait in line because there were so many boats, but the sun should have been right on top of the candles, but the sun was already quite low. However, the photo did not look like there was a fire burning at the core. It's a shame, but it's not a good idea to complain because it's my first time on the Oki Islands, I sailed safely, and I was able to see Candle Rock. After disembarking the ship, I felt extremely tired, and I thought that it must be difficult for the captain, who operates the ship, to do so. (Original) こちらに訪れるまで、ず〜っと、天気が気になって仕方なかったのですが、見事、晴天になってくれて、とても良かったです！ せっかく隠岐に来てるんだし！ この日は、台風一過で風がまぁまぁあった様な気がするけど、なんとか船が出港してくれて本当に良かった。 ただし、波はかな〜りあったので、結構揺れました。 揺れたのと、他にも同じ様な観光船が多かったからか、私が乗った船の反対側のお客様の窓のみの撮影になってちょっとがっかり。 席を変わってもらったりしての撮影になったが、気を使うなぁ。(汗) 撮影しながら気がついたけど、船が多かったから順番待ちしていた時間の関係なのか、ちょうどローソクのところに太陽が乗っかってなきゃいけないのに、もう太陽が結構下に落ちてて、何度やっても芯のところに火が灯ってる様な写真にはならなかった。 それは残念ではあるけど、初めての隠岐の島で、無事に出港して、ローソク岩も見れてと、いいことだらけなので、文句を言うのはよくない。 下船後は、何か物凄く体が疲れてて、これは船を操縦する船長さんも大変だなぁと思ったりした。

(Translated by Google) The timing was perfect, and I was able to see the beautiful Candle Island with its lights on. It's not a sightseeing boat, but a fishing boat, so you'll be hit by the shaking and water splashes without hesitation. However, the captain is also paying the most careful attention when driving, so I don't think there will be any problems. Also, please note that advance reservations are required. I think it's worth a look! (Original) タイミングよく、灯りがともったキレイなローソク島を見ることができました。 観光船ではなく、漁船ですので揺れや水しぶきなどが遠慮なく襲ってきます。 ただ、船長さんも最新の注意を払って運転もいて頂いていますので、問題ないかとおもいます。また、事前予約制ですのでお気をつけてください。一見の価値はあるとおもいます！

(Translated by Google) I went to see it on a sightseeing boat. The sightseeing boat will adjust its departure time so that it will arrive near Candle Island just as the sun sets. Please note that there are two sightseeing boat terminals. This time I boarded a boat from Akasaki Port, but I almost made a mistake. The ship was almost full, although it did not reach its capacity. Even though it was dusk, it was quite crowded in the middle of summer. The crew will give you various explanations until you arrive at Candle Island, allowing you to enjoy the seaside of Oki Island. At Candle Island, we took turns taking photos with other ships. On the way back, we quickly switched to a high-speed boat 😄 (Original) 観光船に乗って観に行きました。 観光船は夕日がちょうど沈むぐらいにローソク島近辺に到着するよう、出港時間を調整してくれます。 なお、観光船乗り場は２箇所あるので要注意です。 今回は「赤崎港」から船に乗りましたが、危うく間違えるところでした。 船内は定員には満たないもののほぼ満席。 夕暮れとはいえ、真夏のこの混雑具合はなかなかの辛さでした。 ローソク島に到着するまでの間も船員の方がいろいろと説明してくれて、隠岐の島の海沿いを楽しめます。 ローソク島では他の船と順番に入れ替わりながらの撮影でした。 帰りは高速船に早変わりでした😄

(Translated by Google) It's the best! Inwardly, I was worried that the ship would leave. No matter the weather, if the waves are rough, they won't leave the port. It seems that 69% will do it or not. 69 is hung on a candle. The boat trip takes about 40 to 60 minutes. If you come to Oki Island, definitely check it out! ! (Original) 最高ですー！ 内心…船が出るかヒヤヒヤしました。 天気でも波が荒いと出港しないそうです。 するかしないかは…69％だそうですよ。 69はろうそくに掛けてるとか。 40～60分くらいの船旅。 隠岐の島に来たら、是非！！

(Translated by Google) Compared with the Shiratorisaki Observation Deck next to it, I personally feel that the view and angle here are better. But the lighthouse itself is not bad, and it is not in the direction of an overseas island near the cliff. (Original) 相較旁邊的白鳥埼展望台，我個人覺得這邊的視野跟角度都更要優秀。不過燈塔本身就還好，也不是在靠崖邊海外小島的方向上。

(Translated by Google) About 300m uphill from the parking lot. The outlook is very good. The view from here is better than from the observation deck. (Original) 駐車場から少し上り坂を約300m。展望はとても良い。展望台からよりここからの眺めの方が良い。

(Translated by Google) Visited in December 2021. It is located across the road from the same parking lot as Shirashimazaki Observation Deck. Perhaps it was out of season, but the road was not well maintained and was covered with fallen leaves, so I hesitated as to whether or not I should proceed. There are no obstructions around the lighthouse, so the view is nice. If it's winter, there aren't many people here. Enjoy it to your heart's content. For some reason, a torii gate stands on the edge of a cliff on the line connecting the lighthouse and the cape. I don't know what it means. (Original) 2021年12月訪問。白島崎展望台と同じ駐車場から道を分けた先にある。なんだけども季節外れなのか道の手入れはあまりされておらず、落ち葉だらけで、進んでいいのか躊躇しましたw 灯台の周囲は遮るものがないので眺望はいいです。冬なら人もまず来ない。思う存分楽しんで。 灯台と岬を結んだライン上、崖っぷちになぜか鳥居が立っている。どんな意味があるのかは知らない。

(Translated by Google) I visited this place during Golden Week 2019 😀 Park your bike in the parking lot below and go up the mountain path a little and there is an observation deck with a spectacular view 😀👍 The cape that juts out towards the bottom, the white shining lighthouse and the rocky area beyond. The Sea of ​​Japan and the sky are blue and clear 🎵 This was an impressive place 😱👍 By the way, on the way back, I saw a lighthouse on the right side in a slightly higher place ❗ Apparently not many tourists go there (according to the cleaning lady) When you look at it, you'll see a nice big lighthouse 😱 A small torii gate on the sea side, and in the middle of the torii gate is the torii gate of the cape that you saw earlier 😀👍 This place might be a hidden gem ⁉ ️ Please go! ️ (Original) 2019ＧＷに訪れました😀此処は下の駐車場にバイクを止めて少し山道を登るとその先に絶景の展望台が有ります😀👍下の方に突き出た岬や白く輝いた灯台と岩場その先は青く透き通った日本海や空🎵此は感動的な場所でした😱👍因みに帰り道、右側の少し高い場所に灯台が見えます❗余り観光客は行かないらしく(清掃のおばさんの話しで)いって見ると立派な大きな灯台が😱海側に小さな鳥居その鳥居の真ん中に先ほど見えた岬の鳥居が😀👍此処は以外と穴場かも⁉️是非とも行かれて下さいませ‼️

(Translated by Google) This has a better view than the observation deck. (Original) 展望所よりこちらの方が見晴らしが良い

(Translated by Google) The road to the lighthouse was well maintained. The view was amazing. (Original) 灯台までの道は整備されてました。眺めは最高に良かったです。

(Translated by Google) Beautiful scenery Comfortable environment Few tourists (Original) 風景美麗 環境舒適 遊人稀少

(Translated by Google) This parking lot also has a restroom with a washlet. (Original) ウォシュレット完備のトイレもある駐車場です。

(Translated by Google) It was hard to find the place (Original) 場所わかりにくかった
