Byobuiwa, Tango Coast
Vertical rock, an open sea.
Screen-like rock rises above white surf in this striking portrait photograph. For a visit, head to the land-side roadside lookout.
From the lookout, compare the rock’s silhouette with the folding screen suggested by its name. Enjoy the contrast between the upright rock and the sea stretching out around it.
About 30 minutes by car from Kyoto Tango Railway’s Amino Station, according to Kyoto by the Sea. Tankai Bus’s Kaigan Line serves Byobuiwa, but service is sparse and differs by day and direction. The April 2026 weekend/holiday timetable shows roughly 41 minutes from Amino and a last listed return departure from Byobuiwa at 12:28; verify both directions before setting out.
