Jizo Rock stands at the northern end of Motochi Beach on Rebun Island's west coast. It is a sharp rock about 50 meters tall, split down the middle, shaped like hands pressed together in prayer, and legend says it grants wishes. From the Motochi parking lot, it is about a 10-minute walk along the beach to the rock. Beware of falling rocks and do not approach the cliff face. Agates can be found on the beach. Nearby is the Momodai Nekodai Observatory, and the two can be visited together. Free admission.
