Mimitsu

Let’s meet the old days of Japan. The area is designated a National Important Preservation

District for Groups of Historic buildings, and there remain much of the atmosphere of the 19^th

century, including buildings of old times, earthen walls, and stone pavements.

According to the ancient myths set down in Japan’s oldest books, Kojiki and Nihongi, Mimitsu

is where the mythical first emperor of Japan, Jimmu, built a fleet and set sail to conquer

central Japan and set up the Yamato Dynasty.

Exciting scenery created by raging wave of Hyuga Sea. The coastline here is a ria coastline,

marked by intricate waterways sandwiched between cliffs. The cliffs here are 70m high and

the waves’ splashing against them is an enchanting sight.

Exploring Umagase

The bare rock faces of the cliffs have given way to columnar joints, which are formed when

magma from a volcanic eruption cools and hardens. The source of the name “Umagase” is

thought to come from the fact that the rocks here are similar in colour to horses.

Your wishes come true here. The Cruz Sea is an area of ocean that appears to have a

cross in it when viewed from an observatory.

This cape is known as a ria coast; the “cross shape” was created by the narrow terrain

here being eroded by rivers, resulting in a cross-shaped sea route.

Because the cross-shape looks similar to the Japanese kanji character 叶 (meaning “to

grant a wish”) it is commonly said that if you make a wish here it will be granted.
