Sandanbeki Cave三段壁洞窟

Cave

This is a cave formed by years of sea erosion and is set into one of the famous sheer cliffs of Japan, the Sandanbeki cliff. It is a spot for invaluable study of fossilized ripples of stone caused by waves and currents, and rock crevasses surging with the tide. It is said that this cave was the hideout for the Kumano navy ships in the Genpei War during the Heian Period. Inside the cave is a restored Kumano navy barrack, and it enshrines Japan’s largest bronze benzaiten deity of water, the Muro-dai-benzaiten.

Reviewed:2018/08/03 Spectacular geological feature
Spectacular sea cliffs as great photo spots. Visitors take a closer look of the feature by the elevator going down the cliffs. Beware of strong winds when you visit this place.
Reviewed:2018/05/03 Nice and exciting view
It was quite and nice and exciting view.
We visited with our family and enjoyed roughly 1 hour. It has memorial photo service and it costs ¥1,200 but you only need to buy it if you want it. From...
Reviewed:2018/03/11 Amazing view
Since U 'll probably be driving by the route then you should stop and visit this ancient naval architecture. You could move back to time to feel the rough sea and the dangers of fighting the pirates.

Wakayama prefecture unites pilgrims, food lovers, and culture buffs in a tranquil corner of Japan at the base of the Kii Peninsula. The setting for many a Kumano Kodo pilgrimage trail, Wakayama invites those in search of spirituality from one side of the prefecture to the other, from the 100-plus Buddhist temples of the sacred Mount Koya in the west to the inspiring temples of the Kumano Sanzan set among breathtaking nature in the east. Once the grueling hike is complete, make a beeline for Wakayama city to savor some of the country's most delicious ramen noodles.
