『Toshinbo』
Located in Fukui Prefecture, Japan, Tojinbo is a stunning coastal wonder. It has a 1-kilometer-long cliff made of special andesite columnar joints, like a masterpiece of nature. The huge waves hit the rocks, stirring up layers of white waves, which form a sharp contrast with the blue Sea of Japan, which is awe-inspiring.
The huge basalt cliffs of Tojinbo were formed by a volcanic eruption 7 million years ago. There are only a few places in the world that have such a spectacle. Standing on the cliff, you can overlook the surging Sea of Japan, and the sight of the waves hitting the rock wall is shocking!
