Excursion Oki island trekking (extensive) tour at Isole Oki

Discover the rugged beauty of Nishinoshima, one of the four inhabited islands of the Oki Islands UNESCO Global Geopark, celebrated for its dramatic cliffs, volcanic formations, and untouched landscapes.

Set out from Urago Port on an invigorating trekking adventure covering approximately 10 km along the iconic Kuniga Coast, one of the region’s most spectacular natural areas. The route leads through sweeping grasslands, sheer cliffs, and ancient geological formations shaped by millennia of wind and waves.

Walk through the impressive remains of the Shimama Caldera, a vast geological depression revealing the island’s volcanic origins. Continue toward the towering Matengai Cliff, one of Japan’s highest sea cliffs, rising sharply above the Sea of Japan and offering breathtaking coastal panoramas.

Along the trail, cross the striking natural formation known as Tsutenkyo, a rock bridge sculpted over countless years by erosion, and enjoy remarkable views of the coastline from this unique geological feature.

Your journey also includes a visit to the tranquil Kuniga Shrine, nestled quietly within the island’s dramatic landscape. This serene site offers a gentle cultural moment amid the expansive wild scenery, connecting you to the spiritual heritage of the island.

Return to Urago Port with unforgettable impressions of the Kuniga Coast—an inspiring blend of nature, geology, and tradition.
