About this place

Live Camera | Nabetsuru Rock Sea Arch & Okushiri Coast, Okushiri Island, Hokkaido, Japan. Jutting out from the turquoise waters of Okushiri Island off southwest Hokkaido, Nabetsuru Rock is a striking natural sea stack whose central arch resembles the handle of a traditional Japanese cooking pot. Sculpted over millennia by crashing Japan Sea waves, this illuminated geological marvel stands as the island's iconic symbol. Visitors to Okushiri feast on rare island delicacies including live raw purple sea urchin, whole abalone grilled on charcoal, and local Okushiri winery vintages.
