It is a cliff stretching about 1 km and made up of huge columnar rocks, and is designated as a national natural monument. It is said that there are only three places in the world, including Tojinbo, where the geologically rare rock formations called "pyroxene andesite columnar joints (columnar cracks in the rock body)" are found. The "Tojinbo Sightseeing Cruise Boat" takes you around for about 30 minutes, and allows you to look up at the sheer cliffs of Tojinbo, which are over 25 meters high, from the sea. At the nearby "Tojinbo Shopping Street," you can enjoy eating a variety of seafood such as squid, scallops, and turban shells.

This beach is visited by beachgoers from inside and outside the prefecture. It is said to be "Japan's No. 1 paradise beach" due to its fine, sparkling white sand, and has been selected as one of the "55 best swimming spots in Japan." People who enjoy marine sports such as windsurfing arrive early in the morning, and in the summer, it can attract as many as 20,000 people a day. The beach season is from mid-Jul. to late Aug., and five beach huts are open. There are also 10 changing rooms and showers, so you can rest assured. With the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen, it is also attractive that it can be enjoyed as a day trip from Tokyo or Osaka.

It is the collective name for five lakes: Lake Mikata, Lake Suigetsu, Lake Suga, Lake Kugushi, and Lake Hinata, and has been designated as a national scenic spot. With a wide variety of fish from saltwater to freshwater and a precious habitat for waterfowl, it was registered under the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands Preservation in Nov. 2005. All five lakes can be seen from the Mikata Five Lakes Rainbow Line toll road. At the Terrace in the Sky in the mountaintop park, you can enjoy the spectacular view while soaking your feet in a footbath. For meals, we recommend Unagi Tansui, where you can enjoy locally caught, natural thin-lipped blue eel.
