Devil’s washboard aka Oni no sentakuita
This neat looking rock formation is 100% naturally formed. Unbelievable, right? They are only visible during low tides. Read the tidal schedule before visiting.
Devil’s washboard, the name, is derived from the aerial look of the formation. From above, the stones looks like lines surrounding the island. I didn’t do the helicopter, so no pic from me. I did find the aerial photo from the official tourism board for reference.

I have visited Japan 3 times in Typhoon season and have many photos with similar cloud and memories of the rain and wind. Usually they only last a couple of days.
Great photos, looks like a bit of possible Typhoon coming up in that cloud or has one passed through?
You have such a good eye!! Totally spot on. We had typhoon -_- and crazy rain a few hours after that haha
