    "Located approximately 25 minutes from the Maebaru Interchange on the Nishi-Kyushu Expressway, it has been selected of one of the Japan's 100 Best Beaches, and is one of the scenic spots representative of Itoshima City. It is also a scenic spot to see sunsets at the Genkai Pass, which has been selected as having one of the Japan Sunset Best 100, and it is also called ""Yuhi no Futamigaura"" (sunset Futamigaura) in contrast to ""Asahi no Ise Futamigaura"" (sunrise Ise Futamigaura). It is famous for the ""Meoto Iwa"" (Wedded Rocks,) which rise about 150 meters off the coast with a white torii gate, and you can see the sunset between the two rocks on the summer solstice. The large sacred Shinto straw festoons between the rocks are replaced every May during the spring tide."
