It is part of the national park in Kunigami, Okinawa. It has remained from about 200 million years ago, and is covered by rocks and trees. There are 4 routes to walk around. These routes are designed for men and women of all ages and disabled people. Each has a different kind of scenery, so you should go on every route if you have time.

1. Gokuu Rocky Hill

It is said that this is the most spiritual area in Daisekirinzan. The name “Gokuu” came from “Journey to the West.” Gokuu is the main character in this story. We were overwhelmed by its impressive figure.

2. Animal-Shaped Rocks

There are some animal shaped rocks. For example, gorilla, cat, owl, alligator, etc. You can enjoy seeing them.

3. The Rock of Marriage

According to a rumor, if a girl and a boy who are in a relationship pass between these two rocks, their relationship is going to be better than it used to.
