Mifuga, also known as Woman Rock, is a unique rock formation on Kume Island believed to be a sacred site for women seeking fertility. Formed by two rocks colliding approximately 400 years ago, the site features a distinctive hole in the rock face. Visitors can walk to the base of the rock, but should wear sturdy shoes due to the uneven terrain. Located near Gushikawa Castle Ruins, Mifuga is accessible by a 10-minute drive from Kumejima Airport or 20 minutes from Kaneshima Port. Despite some issues with litter, the site offers stunning ocean views and a glimpse into local folklore.
