Amazing scenery

The view from the observatory is superb.

You can overlook the beautiful sea of Onna village, and when the weather is nice, you can even see Ie Island.

It is difficult to tell the size in the image, but it is very big and powerful.

It’s not the exact height of the rock, but I feel that it should be about 50m.

The power of the waves is amazing
