Injo Coast (Matate Grotto)

犬城海岸(馬立の岩屋)

A beautiful coast with many caves eroded by the sea and strangely shaped rocks. It is said that its name is derived from the fact it is the place where Tanegashima Hatatoki, the 10th Island Chief, performed his training to be a Shugendo messenger.

Matate Grotto is located at the northern tip of Injo Coast. It was created through erosion by waves over many years. This grotto is a legendary cave said to be connected to Homan Pond in Minamitane.
