At 0:22 in the video, you can see the huge stone gate formed by nature, and a sacred site perched among the rocks.
In addition to this, there are other spectacular views of strange rocks created by tectonic movements and erosion, such as Kasaneiwa and the large tengu rocks, as well as the Kankakei Gorge and the Shihoyubi Viewing Deck on the hills.
These can be reached by the Kankakei Ropeway.

We also recommend places such as Shiroyama Sakura Park, Nakayama Senmaida, and Shodoshima Hometown Village, that are overflowing with beautiful natural scenery.
Other must-see locations include Dofuchi Strait, in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's most narrow strait, the village used for filming "Twenty-Four Eyes," where you can enjoy the scenery of good old Japan, and there's also the peace group.
You can see these from 1:23 in the video.

Hoshoin no Shimpaku, which is over 1600 years old, is introduced at 1:37 in the video. It's a popular power spot.
