The trail begins near the top of Matengai Cliff and descends to sea level near the Tsūtenkyō rock arch.On Nakanoshima Island, the Akiya Coast showcases dramatic geological formations created by volcanic eruptions and erosion, making it one of the island’s most impressive coastal landscapes. Heritage Atlas treats that specific classification-and-description combination as the oddity; the score is a comparative discovery signal, not proof of mystery or the supernatural.
