My name is Kishikoro and I live in Yonaguni.
Yonaguni Island is a unique island with few of the shallow coral reefs typical of Okinawa, and instead has a deep-water terrain where steep cliffs suddenly connect to the sea.
I would like to introduce you to Rokujo Beach, an incredibly beautiful beach located on Yonaguni Island.
I have seen many different oceans, including overseas, but this is by far the most beautiful I have ever seen in my life, and it is a spot that you should definitely visit if you come to Yonaguni Island.
First, I want you to see Rokujo Beach.
The ocean is so dynamic it's scary https://t.co/5rywqn6XgU pic.twitter.com/HqQcac2DTJ

It's really beautiful. The most beautiful of all.
I've been traveling through all 47 prefectures over the last two years, and these are my top three most breathtaking views.
And it was a strange sight to see that there was no one on this beach.
If a place like this were located within driving distance of the city, it would probably be extremely crowded.
You can go down the cliffs to Rokujo Beach (not recommended)

In fact, there is a path leading down to the right side of Rokujo Beach that you can use to go down.
However, it is quite dangerous and we do not recommend going down. The cliffs as well as the sea are very sharp, so if you lose your balance and lean over, the flesh on your hands will be taken away.
I also think it looks more beautiful from above than from the bottom. Of course it's beautiful from the bottom, but I recommend Nanta Beach or Naama Beach, which are safer.
For more information about Nanta Beach, please refer to the following article.

I also went down once when I came to Yonaguni, but I don't recommend it as it is quite physically demanding and dangerous.
Location of Rokujo Beach
Rokujo Beach is located in the northeast direction of the island.
It is best to avoid going here when the north wind is blowing strongly as it is very dangerous.
The wind speed is about 20 m/s pic.twitter.com/yju1W6c8JZ

This is a height from which there is no way to escape if you fall, so make sure you do not lean your body out.
If an accident were to occur, fences or other structures might be erected, preventing this magnificent view from being seen.
Be sure to pick a sunny day when it's safe to go and see it.
summary
Rokujo Beach is best viewed from above, and if you go on a clear, windless day you'll probably be treated to one of the most breathtaking views of your life.
It's really dangerous, so when you go down, avoid wearing sandals or anything like that, and if possible, wear gloves.
Please enjoy safely.
