[Shimane Prefecture, Oki] A spectacular view unlike anything else in Japan! "Maten Cliff" on Nishinoshima Island

The Oki Islands off the coast of Shimane Prefecture The Oki Islands are divided into two large remote island areas, Dozen and Dogo, and Nishinoshima is the largest of the three islands. On Nishinoshima, there is a spectacular spot that is the symbol of Oki, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is Matengai. The almost vertical cliff is about 257m high. It is surrounded by lush grass, reminiscent of a European scene that is somehow different from Japan. From the top of Matengai to the strange rock called Tsutenkyo, there is a gentle slope promenade, and you can enjoy a stroll while watching the idyllic scene of grazing cows and horses grazing. (The climb is tough, so it is better to enjoy the descent as much as possible) The beautiful coastline of the ria coast and the Sea of ​​Japan are also wonderful. You can enjoy a foreign-like scenery that makes it hard to believe that it is a remote island. #tripDomesticTravel #ShimanePrefecture #SpectacularScenery #Remote Islands #Oki
