The number of interesting natural rock formations in Shirahama, Japan is surprising. There are so many interesting coves to explore and rocks to climb. Engetsuto is one of my favorites - and you can see why. Even on a gloomier day, this island / natural arch has character!

While I didn't have the opportunity, at very low tides a land bridge seems to form. At least it looks like it. Maybe from across this expanse of water, it's an optical illusion. That's an excuse for a return visit, right?
