Visitors are free to clamber and climb over the rocks but just make sure to watch your step! After all, the Tojinbo Cliffs take its name for an unfortunate soul who did not. There are a number of different areas that you can climb around and enjoy. Some are like the steep cliff below but some you can climb down to the bottom and touch the sea. This area was at times used as a quarry for rocks and the scars from that remain. If you walk just a little bit away from the main area you can get interesting views of different rocks that look like animals or ships.

In good weather, 30-minute boat tours operate throughout the day charging around JPY1500 per person. The tours will take you first near the Tojinbo Cliffs for you to enjoy them from a completely different angle. You can really feel the awesome size of the cliffs from the sea. The boat then continues out around Oshima Island, which also has some unsettling rumors about it. However, from the sea you can sea a field of rocks that run up the backside of the island that create an almost hellish landscape. It was created during the same volcanic period as Tojinbo and the rest of the peninsula. After seeing the island and its magnificent red bridge, you will return back to port. Finally, there is also a boat tour that runs to Mikuni Port that is a bit closer to Fukui City proper and from where you can take the local train back to that city.

Can I fly a drone at Tojinbo?
You can fly a drone at Tojinbo, provided you have appropriate insurance and submit the application form to info@tojinbo.co.jp. As Tojinbo is a national park, any damage caused could be very costly, so please take the proper precautions to make it a safe and enjoyable trip!
Can I climb on the rocks?
Yes, you can! But please be careful. Japan is generally not so prohibitive when it comes to health and safety standards, leaving it up to individuals to assess if it is safe to venture out. The rocks become very slippery when wet, so use your best judgement!
