Tindabana

ティンダバナ

Okinawa

A natural fault-cliff rock terrace rising above Sonai village, a nationally designated Place of Scenic Beauty with caves and an overhang looking out across the harbour and East China Sea.

Why it's hidden

A short overgrown climb above the village on Japan's westernmost island — almost no foreign visitors make it here.
