The place Okibura most recommends on Kouri Island in Nakijin Village, Okinawa Prefecture, is neither Kouri Beach nor Heart Rock,Chigne Beach, Cave of Beginnings.It is!
When she lived in Nago City, we visited this place several times when we suddenly wanted to relax. It is a memorable place where we came on a date when we had just started dating lol.

Tigunuhama Cave of Beginnings (Kouri Island)
It seems to be the place of Okinawa's version of Adam and Eve. I hear it is a power spot.
I love the clarity and blue of the ocean from this location.
After passing through a narrow and narrow rocky path, you will be able to see the blue ocean like this up close! (If you try to imitate this regime, please be careful as you may injure your hand...!)
This photo was taken from the top of the rock. This is not a place for swimming, but a place to view the ocean.
More and more accommodations are being built on Kouri Island, but we want to preserve the beautiful scenery of Chigunu Beach. If you see any trash on the beach, please pick it up!
(Google) street view
The "Cave of Beginning" is located under the two telephone poles. The view of the ocean from the rocks in front of the embankment is beautiful! You can often see fishermen at the end of the embankment.
As a side note, I frequently see goats behind the torii gate on the other side.
Review of Okibara
It is located about a 10-minute walk from Kouri Station Sorahasi on Kouri Island, on the opposite side of Kouri Beach! It's really just a little place, so please stop by on a whim!
Also, please be careful with small children.
