Research has shown that these rocks have been rolled up to that point by large tsunamis caused by permanent earthquakes. The evidence left is that plants and animals that originally liked the damp areas have died, fossils have been left on the surface, and surveying them reveals that they were in the 1700s, when there was a great earthquake. Also, it takes more than four meters of moving rock scattered on Hashigui rocks to move at speeds of up to four meters per second. This, too, is not the speed calculated by the waves of frequent typhoons in this area, nor by the sea near the southern sea near the epicenter, but is the speed of a major earthquake, which was a combination of earthquakes in the East, the East, and the South. == sync, corrected by elderman == The Hashigui rock is located along the country road 42, and you can see several souvenir shops near spots.
