The Kuniga Coast stretches along the western side of Nishinoshima Island. Its high, sea-eroded cliffs and fascinating rock formations make it one of the most beautiful places to visit in the Oki Islands. This captivating landscape includes Tsutenkyo Arch, a sea arch colored with red, white, and gray rocks that contrast sharply with the clear aquamarine sea, as well as the impressive Matengai Cliff, which towers to a height of 257 m. Cattle and horses are grazing peacefully on top of the cliffs, creating a unique seaside pastoral landscape. The best ways to leisurely enjoy the views of Matengai Cliff and Tsutenkyo Arch are either to go to the top by bus, car, or e-bike and hike the short 2.3 km trail all the way down from the top, which takes about one hour and a half, or board a sightseeing boat for a two-hour cruise.
