The Kansai region (関西地方, Kansai-chihō) or the Kinki region (近畿地方, Kinki-chihō) lies in the southern-central region of Japan's main island Honshū. The region includes the prefectures of Mie, Nara, Wakayama, Kyoto, Osaka, Hyōgo and Shiga, sometimes Fukui, Tokushima and Tottori. While the use of the terms "Kansai" and "Kinki" have changed over history, in most modern contexts the use of the two terms is interchangeable. The urban region of Osaka, Kobe, and Kyoto (Keihanshin region) is the second-most populated in Japan after the Greater Tokyo Area.

This place is a natural wonder and always a good place to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. If the tide is low, you can actually walk out onto the rocks and if you happen to visit in December, the rocks are likely to be illuminated. Well worth a visit.

This whole place is so charming, the late afternoon sun light casting over the whole area, the sea, the sea breeze, the many eagles hovering so low over the whole place and the large spread of colourful layer looking rocks. If only we could spend longer time, was a pity that we only manage to make a brief stop as we need to hurry back Wakayama station to return our rented car! We will definitely return and plan to walk on those colourful layers of rock our next trip.
