Godzilla Rock

ゴジラ岩

A sea-eroded rock at Shiosezaki on the south coast of the Oga Peninsula. From the side it looks just like Godzilla, and at sunset you can frame the sun in its mouth for a “fire-breathing” photo.

Godzilla Rock stands at Shiosezaki in the Monzen area on the south coast of the Oga Peninsula. It is a volcanic rock sculpted by the waves, and from the side it looks almost exactly like the monster Godzilla. The most popular activity is to position yourself at sunset in summer so the sun falls into its open mouth, creating a “fire-breathing” effect in photos. The rock platform is slippery, so wear non-slip shoes, and take care during high tide or rough seas. Admission is free. Drive to the parking area near Monzen and walk about 5 minutes. It can be combined with nearby Gosha-dō and the south coast of Oga.
