Nanbara Senjojiki Lava Coast

南原千畳岩

Tokyo · Kanto

A vast black basalt lava shelf running into the sea on Hachijōjima's west coast — the "thousand-tatami rock" — with the conical Hachijō-kojima islet on the horizon.

Why we picked it

A sprawling volcanic lava flat and local sunset spot, little mentioned in guides.
