Umi Kongō is a scenic spot located on the eastern end of Kii-Oshima Island in Kushimoto, Wakayama Prefecture. Easily accessible from the Nichibei Shuko Memorial Hall, the area features rugged, pyramid-shaped rocks rising dramatically from the sea, sculpted by volcanic activity and the Pacific waves. Visitors can enjoy panoramic views from the Takanosu Observatory, reached via a short walk through a tunnel of camellia trees. The unique landscape offers a glimpse into the power of nature, with views of Kashinozaki Lighthouse in the distance. This hidden gem provides a tranquil escape with breathtaking coastal scenery.
