Tsunakake-iwa - Ehime (Sunset)

Tsunakake-iwa is a striking natural rock formation located in Uwajima, Ehime Prefecture, Japan. Known as the "Rope-Hanging Rock," it features a massive shimenawa (sacred rope) suspended between two rugged seaside cliffs, symbolizing the boundary between the spiritual and earthly realms in Shinto belief. The site is both a scenic coastal landmark and a spiritual location, especially significant during the annual ritual when locals replace the rope in a traditional ceremony. Tsunakake-iwa offers visitors a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural reverence along the picturesque coast of Shikoku.
