Ujiji Beach

A famous spot for the sunrise over the strange rock formations. It's a sunrise spot worth getting up early to see, if it's clear. Unfortunately, I visited just before dusk, but the view was still spectacular. There were many other people taking photos. The sailing ship monument was created on September 22, 1890 (Meiji 23), when the Canadian sailing ship "Liege C Troop" encountered a typhoon and was wrecked off the coast of Ujiji Beach. The islanders rescued the ship, and two years later the Canadian government sent a gift to the islanders for their rescue and nursing care, which was commemorated by this gift. There is a parking lot and it is located right off the prefectural road, so it is easy to access.
