Things to do in Motobu

Heart Rock

Heart Rock on Kouri Island stands quietly in the shallow waters of the beach. It is a remarkable rock formation naturally sculpted by sea breezes and the erosion of surging waves. At low tide or from specific angles, two towering rocks on the beach appear to nestle against each other. If you overlap the visual outlines of the two rocks, or view them from a specific high angle, they magically form a clear heart shape. In addition to the heart shape from the front, if you stand on the right side of the beach, you can see an inverted heart-shaped cutout through the unique gap between the two rocks. As the sun moves throughout the day, the seawater shifts from bright emerald green to deep blue. At sunset, the golden glow outlines the silhouette of the heart-shaped rock against the sea, creating an incredibly romantic atmosphere.
