Nabetsuru Rock
An Illuminated Symbol of Okushiri
Nabetsuru Rock, off of Okushiri Island in southwestern Hokkaido, gets its name from its peculiar shape. The large rock’s center has eroded away over millennia, resulting in a shape resembling the handle of a nabe (pot). Jutting out of the ocean at almost 20-meters high, the rock offers an otherworldly photo opportunity when illuminated at night, along with the countless squid fishing boats that skitter across the dark ocean in the background.
