It is a historic rocky area that has been climbed by locals for a long time, and in 1983, four of the climbs, Maze, ET Hang, Cosmic Dancer, and Jet, were made free, and the grade was announced on Decimal, which was unusual at the time, so it suddenly became mainstream.
The jet climbed by Isao Ikeda was the first 5.12 in Japan at the time.
It’s about a 30 minute walk from the parking lot by the sea, and it’s sunny and warm. This is a popular rocky area in winter.
