Mifuga Rock
ミーフガー
A giant rock on the seashore split by a narrow fissure, believed to grant children; a popular photo spot on Kumejima.
Mifuga is a huge rock on the north coast of Kumejima, split by a vertical crack through which the sea can be seen. In the local dialect the name means “rock with a hole,” and it has long been regarded as a sacred site for praying for children. Trails and viewing spots surround it, and you can frame the sunset or the seascape through the crack for photos. Entry is free, and it is about 1 km from Gushikawa Castle Ruins. The reef rocks along the shore are slippery, so do not approach them when the waves are big.
