Kochōmon Cave

Kochomon Gate : Further along the way to the north you will come to this miraculous formation of rock gate called Kochomon. This is a natural creation of wave and rock forming a shape of a gigantic rock gate striding over a path next to the coast. The path leading to the rock is fenced off to limit the access to visitors. The path is leading to a former road which is closed due to the safety reason. Just little north from this point there is a classic eatery where you can have standard meals of Echizen-cho called Kaori 食堂・喫茶かおり. This place served Oroshi Soba ( backwheat noodle dipped into dashi stock and grated raddish with bonito flakes which is a specialty of Echiozen-cho as well as crab ramen. ( TGM Japan Guide : Trans-word+ )

It's pretty cool to look at but there's nothing else there. It's a two minute walk from where you park so this pretty much only takes as long as you want to stare at it. There's also a cute little cave shrine.

nice place & good sence
