Aden Village Coral Stone Walls
阿伝集落のサンゴの石垣Kagoshima · Kyushu
A traditional east-coast hamlet on Kikaijima where residents historically built walls from fossil-coral limestone quarried from the island's own uplifted reef rock, to block typhoon wind and salt spray. Because Kikaijima has no venomous habu snakes (unlike neighboring Amami Ōshima), these old coral walls were never removed and survive intact throughout the settlement.
