  Bridge
  
  Head to Irabu Island over this bridge, which they say is the longest toll-free bridge in Japan. As large ships need to pass under the bridge, it rises toward the middle. You'll feel lovely roller-coaster vibes from the waves when looking out into the distance.

  Nishikaigan Park and Hakuchozaki are located before Funausagibanata. The view from the harbor is worth the visit alone. But you can also enter the ocean from there. It's a dynamic rocky area that attracts many visitors.

  Rock
  
  Opiwa is a massive stone that washed up on shore during a disastrous super tsunami. It is 12 meters tall and weighs tens of tons. Currently, it is used as place to pray for the safety of one's oceanic journey and the health of one's family and home.

  Lake
  
  This is a power spot where the legend of mermaids will lives on. The origin of the name Toriike comes from the gaping terrain that looks as if an open hole connects two lakes underground.
