  Rock
  
  After arriving on Sensui Island, make your way to Goshiki-iwa. Literally “five-colored rock,” this formation is the result of volcanic eruptions millions of years ago. You should be able to make out black, red, blue, yellow, and white. Not only is it Japan’s sole rock formation with five colors, but Goshiki-iwa is also said to be the island’s strongest “power spot.”
