Tojinbo

The cliffs and scenery are breathtaking! And the ocean waves smashing on the rocky surface below are just spectacular!

But if you’re an Empath or a Psychic like me, you might find this place a little bit overwhelming and gloomy. I came here to visit the founder of a nonprofit organization for suicide prevention, so, I’m well aware of some of the darker history of this place. He’s a warm and friendly 80 years old man by the way, still actively working on his cause. Really respect him for his work.

Anyway, this is still a great place to visit, if you love the smell of the ocean, seafood and sunset.

Simply a beautiful spot to spend the afternoon watching the tide come in. Just be sure to wear comfortable and steady walking shoes to ensure you don’t slip on the rocks. Dress your best and take lots of pictures.

I was planning to be in this area for 30mnt max. But when me and my friend and I noticed the boat ride, we decided to hop in 😂😂 it was worthy. The staff were giving information related to the area (all in Japanese).

A thrilling place. The raw power of the see can be viewed from breathtaking rocks and cliffs. Tojinbo is a known suicide spot but one kind old man is helping people and talking them out of these thoughts. These people see nature's rough beauty and realize that they are like the rocks, countless waves will not defeat them, they will shape them and make them more beautiful and unique. It's a feeling of serenity.

Definitely worth visiting ! The photo can't really convey how beautiful this place is. View is stunning and not too crowded. A lot of parking lots (it costed 500 yen to park) unless you purchased sth in the shop there.

Drove here all the way from Nagoya in the Golden week holidays. It wasn't too much crowded. Parking fee was ¥.500 for each car. A shop is located at the entrance and exit where you can eat and drink whatever you like. The place itself is very soothing and calm. Slightly dangerous if not areful as the cliffs are pretty steep at some points but otherwise it is a very good spot for children and families.

A natural wonder, Tojinbo cliff. You can walk around it, climb it a little but be very careful. I really like how stunning it looks. It is also known to be one of the famous suicide spots in Japan.

getting there was a bit confusing, not being able to read japanese. but thanks to google maps we managed to get to tojinbo cliffs very easily.

the cliffs were amazing to look at. best thing was you could scale and climb some of these rocks! but beware of slippery spots and strong winds, as there were no security measures whatsoever.

we didn't have much time, so we skipped oshima island, which is close by. would recommend going there first, as the bus stops on route to tojinbo.

This place was very nice... While am going by luckyly the weather was too good so the water and scenario all is pleasantic... Am enjoyed the water color and coldness the sea was nice look with sunlight..

Been here during summer.. yes it was hot.
But I enjoyed it because of Dramatic cliff view from the top of the cliff and even more amazing view from a boat at the sea

Absolutely beautiful. Please keep in mind that this is a famous spot for suicide in Japan. If there is any suspicious activity, there will be bunch of cops looking for you. (We accidentally left the lights on in the car and the cops were looking for us 😅)

I feel like I must put it out there, that the ferry does not stop at the island with the Tori gate. I think it was about $15/pp at the time. It will slow down to let you take pictures, but you will not be able to disembark there.

It’s a beautiful place to behold, with food stalls and souvenir shops lined up along the sides. If you park at the top, don’t take the small, narrow metal case to go down. Apparently it’s private access ways for the shop employees and they discreetly placed a couch at the bottom to keep people from using it.

Rather, there’s a larger staircase (next to an awesome juice shack-highly recommend) that you can take.

Great views. Got a bus from Awaraonsen station. Several shops selling seafood, ice creams, etc lead up to the cliffs.

Very nice and relaxing sight seeing Fukui Ken……. You Guys Come and Visit for u having experience Tojimbo Sakai Fukui Pref

Just amazing!!
The food shops around were very good also.
Next time I’ll take the ferry for sure, in the winter season it seems is not working.

Beautiful rock formation and scenery you can ride a ferry to see around fukui area and a lot of sea foods you can buy, they can cook also if you request and parking fee of ¥500

Rocks. Good "boardwalk" area with places to eat, get souvenirs, coffee etc

Another place I loved on trip to Kanazawa. Cliffs, clear blue ocean, sea life easily visible. Go with loved ones as a couple too to enjoy a good sunset here. You will remember it for a very long time.

Very interesting rock formations here. Part of a tour we took on our cruise.

Beautiful cliffs and views of the sea of Japan. Visit on a sunny day
