Ayaze Lava Coast
鐙瀬溶岩海岸
A black lava coast formed by eruptions of Onidake, stretching about 7 km and contrasting sharply with the clear blue sea.
The Ayaze Lava Coast is where lava flows from the Onidake volcanic group reached the sea and cooled. Black basalt reefs stretch for about 7 km, contrasting sharply with the clear water and Kuro Island across the way. It is part of the Seikai National Park. The coast has a visitor center and trails where you can observe the lava landforms and the intertidal zone up close, and the sunrise here is lovely. Admission is free, and it is about a 15-minute drive from Fukue city. The rocks are slippery, so take care.
