[2025 Tatsugo Attraction] Travel Guide for Heart Rock (Updated Mar)

Heart Rock is a heart-shaped tide pool that appears only at low tide on the coast near the village of Akaogi. It's famous as a power spot for love. Around July, the tide is at its lowest in the evening, an hour before and after 5pm, making it the most beautiful place to see. ୨୧ ‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥୨୧ Location: Heart Rock Address: Sokari, Setouchi-cho, Oshima-gun, Kagoshima Prefecture Access: Approximately 2 hours by car from Amami Airport Approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes by car from Naze Port Parking: Free parking available ୨୧ ‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥୨୧ #Kagoshima #Kagoshima Tourism #Amami Oshima #Amami Tourism #Kyushu Tourism #Coast #Sea #Nature #Breathtaking Views #Ocean View #Travel with Me

📍Amami Oshima, Kagoshima Prefecture Amami Oshima is located south of Kagoshima. Located between Kagoshima Prefecture and Okinawa, the island is the third largest in Japan. Amami Oshima, with its spectacular coastline and rich virgin forests, has a unique charm. I will introduce the spots I visited this time along with my experiences. ⚫︎Kinsakubaru Primeval Forest A famous spot as the location for the movie "Godzilla vs. Mothra". It looks like Japan, but it's not Japan. The freshness of the trees and the plants you've never seen before make you think Godzilla might appear. You can hear the birds singing. Since 2019, it has become mandatory to have a certified guide accompany you on this tour. If you want to go, please make sure to book a tour 🕵🏻♀️ ⚫︎Cape Ayamaru A spectacular spot located at the northernmost tip of Amami Oshima. The blue color is so beautiful that it's amazing. It's close to the airport, so it's easy to access. You should definitely plan to see it one last time! ⚫︎Heart Rock Heart Rock is famous as a power spot for love. However, there are set times when you can see it. [At low tide, when the waves are calm an hour before and after] It's not a view you can see at any time, so be sure to check the low tide times before going to see it. ⚫︎Kagambana Sunset Only for a few days before and after the spring and autumn equinoxes, you can see the sun completely enter the "Kagambana Tunnel." It's called "Dragon's Eye" or "Dragon Eye" because it looks like a dragon's face with eyes🐉 When you go there at sunset, there are cars lined up... The photo is a little before the spot, but you can see a beautiful sunset. ※If you want to see the dragon's eye, please go early🚗 ⚫︎Amami Oshima Airport "AMAMI" sign on the roof of the airport It's a compact airport, so if you have time, please go there. _ _ _ _ _ Use this as a reference for your next trip🔖 #Kagoshima #KagoshimaTourism #AmamiOshima #RemoteIsland #RemoteIslandTrip #DomesticTrip #FreeHotelStay

I went to "Heart Rock", the most popular tourist spot on Amami Oshima ❤️ It is said that this heart-shaped tide pool only appears at low tide, but you can take a beautiful picture of Heart Rock even if it is not low tide, as long as you take a photo when the waves are not coming 📸🫶🩷 The free parking lot is very spacious 🚗💨 Except at low tide, you will probably get wet up to your knees, so I recommend a swimsuit or shorts 😘🎀✨ Heart Rock The water is beautiful, but the beach is just so beautiful~🥹🤍✨ The water is so clear that when the sun shines, the surface sparkles and it was so beautiful🩷 At Heart Rock, the sun rises from the left side and the sun sets on the right☀️ It depends on the time of year, but I went there in early October and was lucky enough to see both🥰💓 I recommend you all to go there too🎶 Photo ① Heart Rock Photo ② The ocean is so beautiful!

Heart Rock A famous tourist spot that no one would miss on Amami Oshima! Even if the weather is good and the waves are high, you may not be able to see it at low tide. I went there on a sunny day at low tide, but the waves were strong and I got soaked below the knees, so I recommend wearing sandals or other shoes that you don't mind getting wet! The third photo was taken from the sky with a paraglider.
