Tojinnbo in Fukui

Tojinnbo is a name of the famous cliff in Fukui prefecture. One of the reasons of its fame is the amazing scenery from the cliff !!! You could see a geologically rare and compelx-shaped rocks, and stand in awe of the nature, which still keep changing its figure with sea waves.

The story of the cliff is like this; long time ago, there was a monk called Tojinbo, who liked a beautiful girl. Another monk (rival of Tojinbo) also liked her, so he pushed Tojinbo over the cliff. Then, lightning storm suddenly came and kept up for 49 days. This is why the cliff is now called Tojinbo.
