Hotoke-ga-ura Rock Formations is a spectacular natural formation located in the coastal cliffs of Aomori Prefecture, Japan. The 1.5 km stretch of green volcanic tuff rocks reaches heights of up to 90 m, offering breathtaking views and photo opportunities. These extraordinary shaped rock formations are named after various figures in Buddhist theology, and people have been flocking to the area since even the Edo period as part of a pilgrimage route to Mount Osore. Tourists are able to access Hotoke-ga-ura by boat, and the area is further protected as a National Place of Scenic Beauty and Natural Monument. Visit this stunning location today for spectacular views of nature!
