Gunkan (軍艦岩) and Tategami Rocks (立神岩) are two of the most iconic natural landmarks on Yonaguni Island’s wild western coastline. Gunkan-iwa, named after a warship for its sturdy and imposing shape, rises boldly from the sea. Nearby stands Tategami-iwa, a slender, candle-like formation that catches the sunlight beautifully during the day. These dramatic rock formations make for stunning photo opportunities and a unique sightseeing experience.
The southeastern coast near Yonaguni’s western cape is known for its breathtaking views, rugged cliffs, and fascinating rock shapes. Multiple lookout points along the road offer excellent spots to take in the natural scenery. Whether you’re driving, cycling, or joining a guided tour, this part of the island is not to be missed for nature lovers and photographers alike.
