Alps of the Sea
Omijima, off the coast of Nagato in Yamaguchi, is famed for its dramatic rock formations and rugged coastline, earning it the nickname "Alps of the Sea." Highlights include the 1.9 km Nature Research Road, featuring sights like the Jūroku Rakan and Elephant’s Trunk Rock. In spring, Sakura-no-Sato draws visitors with 1,000 blooming cherry trees along the cliffs. Just a 25-minute walk from Senzaki Station, Omijima offers striking scenery and seasonal charm.
