Male Bridge

Arched natural bridge (natural monument) located in the Tesaku. Due to the erosion of the Taishaku River, a river was formed on the bottom of the ground and a cavity spread, the lower riverbed collapsed, and the remaining part became an arch-shaped bridge. It is said to be the bridge of God because of its grandeur of 90m in length, 19m in width and 40m in height. It was actually used as a bridge in the past.

Baiyun Cave

Among the 30 or so cave caves in the Taishaku Gorge, it is on a scale alongside the Tianchuan Cave in the lower Shinryong Lake. Although the entrance is narrow, a 200-meter-deep tour path is maintained, and stalactites, stalagmites, and stone pillars are lit up.

Fish Valley

Limestone eroded by the Taishaku River, and the only rapids of the Taishaku Gorge formed about 300 million years ago. On the north side of the ravine, on the Chinese Nature Trail, which runs from the parking lot of the Upper Teikoku to the Shilong Lake in the south, for about 1.5km, you will get to the National Natural Monument's Yuong Bridge. The biting valley is a mountain stream that shows fierce currents beyond it, and the biting and swirling look is spectacular. It is said that the name of the fish was given because the fish could not run up.

Katsura Beach

A white-sand coast and green pine forest that was also selected for "100 Japanese Shirasuna Aomatsu" and "100 Japanese Nagisa", spread almost in the center of Kurahashi town. There are also a monument featuring songs contained in the Man'yōshū, the remains of Japan's oldest Western-style dock, the Katsura-bin Shrine, whose main shrine is designated as a national important cultural monument, and the Shipbuilding and History Hall of Nagato, which displays the restored Tang-Japanese ship. In addition, at the nearby Katsurahama Onsen Hall, you can enjoy spacious inner baths, various whirlpools, and street stalls using the source as it is.

Night Light

It is located right next to the Iroha Maru Exhibition Building and is a symbol of Tomonoura, which served as a lighthouse to mark the entrance of the harbor during the Edo period. It is also known as the lantern tower, which is lit at night and has a feeling of wind.
