About this place
A small island floating offshore from the coast of Dai, Okinoshima, in the northwest of Oki Dogo. When the sunset falls on the top of the candle-shaped rock, 20 m high, it looks as if the candle has been lit. It is viewed from the Rosoku Island Observatory, about 50 minutes by car from Saigo Port.
