Tokage-iwa (Lizard Rock) Seen From the Lookout

Geohistory - Rocks from Volcanic Islands Period

Geosites / Okinoshima Town

From here, you can see a strangely-shaped rock that looks like a lizard climbing the mountain.
This shape is not its only interesting property—it is also made up of a rock called anorthoclase phonolitic trachyte, which is found at such a large size in only a few places in the world.
