A Must-See Scenic Spot on Your Oki Islands Journey

Standing at an impressive 257 meters, Matengai Cliff is one of the tallest sea cliffs in Japan, formed by coastal erosion. The surrounding area is a pastureland, where cattle and horses graze peacefully, adding to the serene landscape. Looking down from the land, you’ll be greeted by a breathtaking view that soothes the soul. From a sightseeing boat, the sheer grandeur of the towering cliffs will leave you in awe. Additionally, the Matengai Cliff Trail, which stretches from Matengai Cliff to Tsūtenkyō Bridge and Kuniga Beach, has been recognized as one of Japan’s Top 100 Scenic Walking Trails. The first and second images showcase the view from Matengai Cliff. To see Matengai Cliff itself, visitors can either take a sightseeing boat or follow the Matengai Cliff Trail, which takes about 15 minutes one way to reach the best vantage point.
