Hashikui-iwa Rock

From the seashore of Kushimoto toward Oshima, various sizes of over 40 strange shaped rocks are rising up in a row of about 850 meteres. Such strange spectacle as if only bridge piles have been left is in Yoshino Kumano National Park designated as a national natural treasure. Legend says these rocks were set overnight by Kobo-taishi and an ogre who tried to win the race to built the bridge faster.
