Hotokegaura is one of Aomori prefecture’s most scenic and most difficult rock formations to access. Today Hotokegaura is designated as a Natural Monument of Japan and pleasure boats are operated to enable landing and strolling on the coast.
Nearly 20 million years ago, deep sea volcanic activity created a precipice of green volcanic tuff around the current village of Sai in the Shimokita peninsula. Over many years, the rough waves of Tsugaru Channel eroded the precipice turning it into a fantastically shaped rock formation that goes on for 2 km along the coast.

Hotokegaura est une des plus belles formations rocheuses de la préfecture d’Aomori, mais aussi la plus difficile d’accès. De nos jours, Hotokegaura est désignée comme un point de vue sublime, et porte le titre de Monument Naturel du Japon. Par ailleurs, les bateaux de plaisance se rendent sur la côte afin de pouvoir mettre un pied à terre.
Il y a près de 20 millions d’années, les activités volcaniques en mer profonde ont créé un précipice de tuf volcanique vert près du village actuel de Sai, dans la péninsule de Shimokita. Au fil des ans, les vagues brutales du canal de Tsugaru ont érodé le précipice et en ont fait cette fantastique formation rocheuse qui parcourt la côte sur 2km.

You have not been to Akita prefecture yet, have you? I'd like you to visit Akita prefecture because there're also a lot of beautiful places.
Camera?
the view around 1:00 is nice, would make a great photo on the wall 🙂
6. Japan – 29,751 km (18,486 miles) – Another country which is relatively small to other countries in this list. Japan, being only the 62 largest country in the world by its area, has the 6th longest coastline. The reason is again islands – Japan has several islands that increase the coastline
Places looks awesome, I saw the music video of Crystal Lake Apollo and just had to make sure it was real!
speaks for itself…thanks for not dubbing 🙂
我故郷佐井村の観光名所懐かしいです
