Kumomi Coast Parking Lot
It is the starting and ending point.
↓
Mt. Eboshiyama
You can see the intruding rocks (columnar joints) where the submarine volcano erupted in the past.
↓
Mitake Sengen Shrine
Among Sengen Shrines, it is a rare shrine that enshrines only the goddess of Iwanagahime alone.
↓
Cape of Memories
It is a small promontory at the foot of Mt. Eboshiyama, located at the tip of the Kumomi Coast. The coast is scenic now, but if you look closely, you can see the traces of a violent undersea eruption a long time ago.
