A Stunning View of Powerful Waves Crashing Against Rugged Cliffs!
Tojinbo is a cliff formed by wave erosion. Since long ago, it has been recognized and honored as a scenic spot. These towering cliffs extend for about 1 kilometer along the coast, showcasing a dramatic display of columnar jointing—a geological feature so rare that only three such places are known in the world, including Tojinbo. It has been designated as a national Place of Scenic Beauty and Natural Monument.
The name “Tojinbo” comes from the name of a priest who served at Heisenji Shrine. According to the story, he was pushed off the cliffs by fellow monks tired of his antics. After that, the vengeful spirit of Tojinbo is said to have gone on a rampage, making the ocean’s waves rough for 49 days, and so the cliff received his name.
Tojinbo is a famous place for suspense drama and film shootings.
Standing atop the cliffs of Tojinbo, which rise more than 20 meters high, can strike terror into the hearts of visitors, making their legs tremble with fear. However, there is also beauty: the cliff’s view of the horizon and “Kami no Shima” is breathtakingly exquisite.
Visitors can also enjoy the view from the nearby Tojinbo Tower, which is 55 meters tall, as well as from the boats that circle the strangely shaped cliff outcroppings.
Known for its impressive, rugged cliffs.
A national natural monument and scenic spot.

ずっと来たかった場所。サスペンスドラマのラストシーンに欠かせない断崖絶壁として有名！周辺一帯が観光地になっていますのでお土産屋さんや飲食店も数多くあります。
サスペンスドラマのロケ地として有名な景勝地です。断崖絶壁に日本海の荒々しい波が砕ける様子は迫力があります。歩きやすいスニーカーなどでないと、危険です。ヒールやサンダルは避けた方がよいと思います。安全第一！
這裡地貎沒有美麗的沙灘都是岩石而峭壁，是越前加賀國定公園的一部分也是日本著名的旅遊景點。
好像沒什麼人氣？路邊的商家稀稀落落好像都是休息狀態，又是日本傳說的自殺聖地搞得心裡毛毛的，看沒10分鐘就趕緊離開。
傳說中的自殺聖地？有遊客在這邊跳水玩樂，都不怕被抓交替。
