Natural Arch "Uma-no-se Domon"—A Stunning Scenic Spot on Jogashima Island
Located on the southern coast of Jogashima Island in Miura City, Kanagawa Prefecture, "Uma-no-se Domon" is a sea cave formed over many years by the erosion of waves and wind. Its unique shape, resembling a horse's back, has made it a popular destination for appreciating the power and beauty of nature. The surrounding rocky areas and tidal pools are perfect for exploring and hiking, offering visitors a relaxing and rejuvenating experience.
The sunset here is breathtaking, but be cautious as the path leading to the site lacks streetlights and the stairs are steep, making it dangerous after dark. ⚠️
