Senjojiki

Senjojiki (千畳敷) is a scenic coastal spot in Shirahama known for its impressive, flat rock formations that resemble stacked tatami mats. The name “Senjojiki” literally means “One Thousand Tatami Mats,” capturing the unique, layered look of these massive stone slabs. Shaped by centuries of ocean waves, they stretch out toward the sea and invite visitors to explore their wide, walkable surfaces.

This natural wonder is a popular photo stop and a perfect place to feel the power of nature. With panoramic ocean views and the sound of waves crashing against the rock, Senjojiki offers a peaceful yet dramatic seaside experience, especially at sunset. It’s an ideal stop for anyone who enjoys coastal scenery and nature’s artistry.
