Onigajo, which is said to be the model for “Kimetsu no Yaiba“, is also a perfect touring spot!

The promenade is characterized by the sea on the left and the rocks formed by the wind on the right.

The sidewalks are fairly long and you will not get tired of climbing and descending and crossing cracks.

Overview and features of “Onigajo”

Onigajo, located in Kimoto-cho, Kumano City, Mie Prefecture, is a coastal scenic spot designated as a national scenic spot.

This beautiful place is characterized by sea caves created by the rough waves of the Kumanonada Sea, with countless caves large and small connected in a staircase-like manner by the uplift.

Onigajo is located at the southernmost tip of the ria coastline that extends from the Shima Peninsula, and the scenery is spectacular.

Onigajo Center

At the back of the parking lot is the Onigajo Center.

In addition to souvenirs, you can also eat seafood rice bowls at the restaurant.

There is also a terrace seat, so when the season is good, you can enjoy your meal while feeling the breeze from the sea.

Promenade

A promenade has been built along the rocks that have been eroded by the wind from the sea, creating a mysterious landscape, and you can enjoy sightseeing on foot.

The legend of Sakanoue Tamuramaro

Onigajo is also the setting for the legends of Sakanoue no Tamuramaro and Tamamaru.

According to legend, Sakanoue Tamuramaro was ordered by Emperor Kanmu to subjugate the pirate Tayamaru who was ravaging this land.

This magnificent legend is deeply connected to Onigajo, and you can visit it as if you were reliving the events in the legend.

World heritage

Both “Onigajo” and “Shishiiwa”, which will be described later, are declared World Heritage Sites, and there are so many that you may wonder “What is this?” It seems that it is included as part of the pilgrimage route.

By the way, “Onigajo” and “Shishiiwa” are included in “Natural Monuments and Places of Scenic Beauty” in “Pilgrimage Routes”.
