Yokoshima danso
Like a fault line, there is a mix of hard and soft corals on the monolithic rock. The depth ranges from 5-9 m, and the colony extends over more than 1 km in a straight line, with side holes next to the monolith allowing swim-throughs in some areas. Hard and soft corals coexist, and this type of landscape is rare in Japan. Sometimes rays, which can grow to over 2 meters, can be found hiding in the side holes. The scenery in shallow areas where light shines through is extremely beautiful.
The sight of the shallow regions illuminated by sunlight is absolutely breathtaking. The vivid orange hues of snappers, the brilliant blues of solas snappers, and the backdrop of coral reefs make this area particularly enchanting. Additionally, you can spot various other species such as snappers, groupers, scorpionfish, schools of yellowtail snapper, amberjack, yellowtail, cat sharks, and on rare occasions, even sharks or rays.
