Sosogi Coast & Tarumi Falls
曽々木海岸・垂水の滝
A coastline of strange rock formations on the Sotoura side. In winter, strong winds blow Tarumi Falls back upward, and the former landmark Window Rock collapsed in the earthquake.
Sosogi Coast is a stretch of unusual rock formations about 2 km east of Wajima, within the Noto Peninsula Quasi-National Park. Tarumi Falls drops about 35 meters from the cliff straight into the sea. In winter, strong monsoon winds blow the falling water back into the air, creating a 'reverse waterfall' spectacle, and the waves crashing against the rocks throw up dramatic spray. The former landmark Mado-iwa (Window Rock), a rock with a hole through its middle, collapsed in the 2024 earthquake, and the coastline has changed noticeably due to land uplift. Check traffic information for the nearby Sosogi Tunnel and coastal roads.
