Senjojiki (Wakayama Prefecture)
Senjojiki is a large, tiered rock formation that appears as if a thousand tatami mats are spread out. Senjojiki was named because there is enough space for a thousand (sen in Japanese) of tatami mats (jo, a unit for tatami in Japanese).
Standing on the vast wave-eroded rock formations of Senjojiki, you can see the Pacific's huge waves crashing before you and hear the roar of the surf—a visually stunning sight! The sandstone, carved by millions of years of weathering, has distinct layers. As you walk across the wave-like rocks, you can easily capture sweeping seascapes with a sense of grandeur and desolate beauty.
