This is one of the most popular sightseeing spots of Nishinoshima Island. At the bay you can enjoy seeing different rock formations in various shapes. One of them is Kannon-iwa Rock. Some say it looks like a standing statue of Kannon (a Buddhist deity). When the sun is directly over the rock it looks as if a halo is put over him. Some also say that it looks like a candle floating over the sea. The time to enjoy the sunset at the spot is from mid-April to early-June, then again from late-August to mid-September.

This impressive rock arch has been carved by the power of the wind and waves over time. Come here and feel the power of the earth! The local bus goes here 2-4 times per day from mid-April to mid-October. Access: 25 min by car from Beppu Port (then 5 min on foot) Parking and toilet available

Actually, I did not check the places of attractions that much for Matsue, because my plan is only to stop by for a nite, before moving to Hagi. ANd Matsue castle was the actual target. Because the I have enough time after Matsue castle, I looked at the map given by the local tourist information counter, and hence I walk towards Lake Shinji, and it happened that it was about sunset time, hence I sit there patiently with many professional photographers waiting to take the famous sunset pictures. But weather was not very good (cloudy), hence there was sunset pictures. But sitting at the side of the lake, was very nice, calm and breathtaking. It was a good visit to lake Shinji. And the museum was another attraction, if you have the time to spend.
