The sandstone geology has been eroded by the Pacific Ocean over the years, forming a complex topography with overlapping layers. From a distance, it looks like many rock plates are piled up. The total area of this coastline is about 4 hectares, and it is so large that it is a thousand tatami mats (Japanese people have the habit of using the size of a tatami mat, "tatami" to measure area), so it was named "Senjofu". Along with Sandanbeki and Engetsuto Island, it is a scenic spot in Shirahama. Senjojiki is a famous sunset spot that locals are proud of. If the weather is good, you can see the sun slowly sinking into the Pacific Ocean. This beautiful scenery has also been selected as one of the "Top 100 Sunsets in Japan." Its remote location, unique rugged terrain, and the waves of the Pacific Ocean combine to make watching the sunset here feel like you're at the edge of the world. ▼▼Sandanbeki - Sandanbeki Cave Deep in the Cliffs Magnificent Cliffs and an Exciting Past Sandanbeki is part of Kumano National Park, a famous scenic spot in Shirahama, and a lovers' sanctuary. Sandanbeki is a famous cliff scenic spot located on the coast of Shirahama-cho, Nishimuro-gun, Wakayama Prefecture. Sandanbeki is actually a large underwater rock wall that is 2 kilometers long and 50 to 60 meters high. There is an observation deck on top of the cliff, where you can enjoy the view of the Nanki sea. The cliffs here not only have amazing natural scenery, but various historical events have been unfolding below the cliffs for centuries. (During the Heian period (794-1185), local pirates who plundered the area hid in the Sandanbeki caves.) A ticket is required for admission. Tickets are at your own expense.

The ruins of Shichi Castle are said to have once been the castle of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's military strategist Kuroda Kanbei and Kato Yoshiaki, one of the Seven Spears of Shizugatake. The representative of the "Society for Preserving Shichi Castle," which is dedicated to preserving the castle every day, will guide you through this precious historic site, which was an important base for the Awaji Navy under Hideyoshi. Located in Shichi, Minami Awaji City, near the Seto Inland Sea and the Naruto Strait, Shichi Castle is said to have been built by Suga Izuminokami Michitada during the Kamakura period, and was surrendered in 1581 when Toyotomi Hideyoshi attacked Awaji. After that, it was guarded by his vassal Kuroda Kanbei (Kuroda Yoshitaka), and from 1585, Kato Yoshiaki, one of the Seven Spears of Shizugatake, became the lord of the castle. The Awaji Navy, which had Shichi Castle as one of its bases, achieved great success in Hideyoshi's conquests of Kyushu, Odawara, and Korea, and there is no doubt that Awaji Island and Shichi Castle were important naval bases for Hideyoshi. However, the valuable historical site where Kuroda Kanbei and Kato Yoshiaki once lived has been swallowed up by bamboo forests in recent years and is on the verge of being forgotten by local residents. At that time, the local volunteers "Shichi Castle Preservation Society" stood up, worried that the valuable remains would disappear if things continued like this. In order to let many people, not just the locals, know about the Shichi Castle ruins and to pass on the story to future generations, they have been clearing the bamboo forest every day for about five years, and have been carrying out maintenance activities such as installing entrance roads and signs. This is a tour of the Shichi Castle ruins guided by Mr. Sekiguchi, the representative of the "Shichi Castle Preservation Society" who has a stronger passion for Shichi Castle than anyone else! The Shichi Castle ruins are currently being maintained, and recently wells and stones that are thought to be old stupas from that time have been discovered one after another. Perhaps you, as a participant of the tour, will discover an important relic! ■Experience schedule (if departing at 10:00) 10:00 Meet at the parking lot (north side of Shichi Castle ruins, across the street from the main entrance of Super Marunaka *see photo below) 10:00-10:05 Use the handmade sign as a landmark to move to the remains of the Honmarudai 10:05-10:15 Guide explains the history and characteristics of Shichi Castle 10:15-10:55 After viewing the remains such as the Taiko stone, the remains of the turret, and the old well, walk around the moat to Ise Shrine and Shomyo-ji Temple 10:55-11:00 Return to the parking lot and disband
