Tsunami power

Original Text

It is relatively close to the street pond. It may be a good idea to stop by because it passes when you go. It is a large rock with a height of about １２ｍ, a circumference of about ６０ｍ, and an estimated weight of several tens of tons. It seems that it was carried by the tsunami during the Yaeyama earthquake, and you can see the fear of the tsunami.

You can drive to the back in front of going to the street pond (５～６ parking is possible)

There is a road on the left on the way to the famous tourist spot street pond. It seems that the car can be parked at the entrance, but it is unpaved, but if you drive to the back, it will be a square. Why did this rock remain on one big rock? I wonder. You can go around the rocks, and the view from the back to the beach is also very good.

You can feel the threat of nature.

A megalithic stone in the back of Shimoji Island, a remote island on Miyakojima. It is very close to the street pond. There is a megalith on the cliff along the coast. It was launched in the tsunami on March 10, 1771. You can feel the threat of nature.

I can drive you.

If you are traveling with children, it is troublesome to lift and lower the child's child seat, and it is hot to walk outside and I am worried about heat radiation, so I went here after seeing only the signboard of the street pond. I was waiting for this kind of thing! I thought. It is a tourist spot that you can go without getting off the car. the best.

It's a bigger rock than we expected.

Suddenly I stopped by after seeing the signboard. It seems that it was washed away here by an old big tsunami, but I was surprised at how big it was.
