Akushiro no Kabe Cliff

"The name Akushiro means ""evil castle,"" and comes from the overwhelming impact of the towering cliff, which seems to turn all comers away. It appears to have been formed by over hundred thousand years glacial and river erosion of a volcanic plateau created by ejecta from the Mt. Tateyama Volcano, and this cliff is formed entirely of volcanic rock called ignimbrite. The scenery here is particularly stunning during the fall foliage season. It was designated a Toyama Prefecture Historic Landmark/Place of Scenic Beauty/Natural Monument in 1965."
