Hakusan Domon Arch
白山洞門
A granite sea-eroded arch about 16 meters high on the eastern side of Cape Ashizuri, said to be the largest natural granite arch in Japan.
On the east coast of Cape Ashizuri, this natural arch was formed by waves eroding granite. It is about 16 meters high and 17 meters wide and is said to be the largest granite sea-eroded arch in Japan. A shrine to Hakusan Shrine sits above the arch. From the parking lot at Nakahama on Cape Ashizuri, a steep stone staircase trail leads down about 10 minutes to the front of the arch, and the return climb is tiring. Do not approach the rocks by the sea when the waves are high.
