[2025 Tatsugo Attraction] Travel Guide for Heart Rock (Updated May)

Heart Rock is a heart-shaped tide pool that appears only at low tide on the coast near the village of Akaogi. It's famous as a power spot for love. Around July, the tide is at its lowest in the evening, an hour before and after 5pm, making it the most beautiful place to see. ୨୧ ‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥୨୧ Location: Heart Rock Address: Sokari, Setouchi-cho, Oshima-gun, Kagoshima Prefecture Access: Approximately 2 hours by car from Amami Airport Approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes by car from Naze Port Parking: Free parking available ୨୧ ‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥୨୧ #Kagoshima #Kagoshima Tourism #Amami Oshima #Amami Tourism #Kyushu Tourism #Coast #Sea #Nature #Breathtaking Views #Ocean View #Travel with Me

Heart Rock is a spot you can't miss when you come to Amami Oshima 🥰 A rock carved into a heart shape that appears at low tide. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to see Heart Rock this time, but we were very satisfied with the beautiful sea, which was more than enough to make up for the disappointment 😂💗 This beauty without a filter. The water is crystal clear and the turquoise blue is of the highest quality. Before you reach the beach, you have to go through a somewhat overgrown forest, so be careful of snakes! Also, the parking lot is a little far away. (About a 5-minute walk, and the forest is also about 5 minutes away) In summer, you have to endure the heat, go through the forest, and the moment you step out onto the beach, you will feel the ultimate refreshment! #Amami Oshima #Amazing seaside scenery #Free spots #Cool travel experience #Heart rock #Amazing nature #Visiting remote islands #Summer trip #Amazing scenery #Travel with children

📍Amami Oshima, Kagoshima Prefecture Amami Oshima is located south of Kagoshima. Located between Kagoshima Prefecture and Okinawa, the island is the third largest in Japan. Amami Oshima, with its spectacular coastline and rich virgin forests, has a unique charm. I will introduce the spots I visited this time along with my experiences. ⚫︎Kinsakubaru Primeval Forest A famous spot as the location for the movie "Godzilla vs. Mothra". It looks like Japan, but it's not Japan. The freshness of the trees and the plants you've never seen before make you think Godzilla might appear. You can hear the birds singing. Since 2019, it has become mandatory to have a certified guide accompany you on this tour. If you want to go, please make sure to book a tour 🕵🏻♀️ ⚫︎Cape Ayamaru A spectacular spot located at the northernmost tip of Amami Oshima. The blue color is so beautiful that it's amazing. It's close to the airport, so it's easy to access. You should definitely plan to see it one last time! ⚫︎Heart Rock Heart Rock is famous as a power spot for love. However, there are set times when you can see it. [At low tide, when the waves are calm an hour before and after] It's not a view you can see at any time, so be sure to check the low tide times before going to see it. ⚫︎Kagambana Sunset Only for a few days before and after the spring and autumn equinoxes, you can see the sun completely enter the "Kagambana Tunnel." It's called "Dragon's Eye" or "Dragon Eye" because it looks like a dragon's face with eyes🐉 When you go there at sunset, there are cars lined up... The photo is a little before the spot, but you can see a beautiful sunset. ※If you want to see the dragon's eye, please go early🚗 ⚫︎Amami Oshima Airport "AMAMI" sign on the roof of the airport It's a compact airport, so if you have time, please go there. _ _ _ _ _ Use this as a reference for your next trip🔖 #Kagoshima #KagoshimaTourism #AmamiOshima #RemoteIsland #RemoteIslandTrip #DomesticTrip #FreeHotelStay

I went to Amami Oshima, a remote island in Kagoshima Prefecture! Heart Rock is a famous tourist spot! I heard you can see a heart in the sea, but unfortunately it wasn't low tide when I went, so it didn't look very beautiful. You should definitely go at low tide! #remote island trip #remote island tourism #Amami Oshima #Kagoshima tourism

Heart Rock A famous tourist spot that no one would miss on Amami Oshima! Even if the weather is good and the waves are high, you may not be able to see it at low tide. I went there on a sunny day at low tide, but the waves were strong and I got soaked below the knees, so I recommend wearing sandals or other shoes that you don't mind getting wet!
