雷岩絶景コース

700 m

15分

このコースは、まずバリアフリーコースのルートに沿って、雷岩の展望台に向かいます。断崖絶壁の雷岩の岩肌は、白亜紀にあたるおよそ1億3,000万年前に海面上に隆起した海底の一部です。展望台からは、江戸時代(1603–1867)に防風林として植えられた松林を通って海岸沿いに続く道を少し歩きます。海岸の岩肌には、カモメやウミウなどの海鳥が生息しています。


Thunder Rock and Ramboya Gorge Scenic Course

700 m

15 min.

This course first follows the route of the barrier-free course to the observatory at Kaminariiwa Rock (Thunder Rock). The sheer cliff face of the rock is part of the seafloor that tilted up out of the water during the Cretaceous period, about 130 million years ago. From the observatory, the trail continues a short distance along the coast through a pine forest planted as a windbreak during the Edo period (1603–1867). The rock faces along the shore are home to seabirds, such as black-tailed gulls and Japanese cormorants.
