Ebisu Rock and Daikoku Rock

えびす岩・大黒岩

Hokkaido

Ebisu Rock and Daikoku Rock are two small sea stacks standing in shallow water a short distance off the Shiraiwa shore in Yoichi, named after two of the seven gods of fortune. Their paired shapes have also earned them the local name meoto-iwa, husband-and-wife rocks, and they are counted among the eight scenic views of Yoichi. They are seen from a pull-in on National Route 229 and need only a brief stop.

Why it's hidden

A signature roadside rock pair on the Shakotan coast road that almost every car drives straight past on the way to the better-known capes.
