Omi Island (Omijima) 青海島
Caves and odd rock formations on a little island in the Sea of Japan
The rocks that jut from the sea here on Omi Island near Hagi 
are bizarrely shaped and eroded by the natural elements. Some of these dramatic rock formations are up to 40 meters in height. There are also caves that offer lots to see from the local sightseeing boat or the sightseeing path that overlooks the sea.
