Engetsu Island

Engetsu-to Island is known that the setting sun fit into the gaping big hole in the central part of the island at about 18:30 in summer, at about 16:30 in winter. The official name is "Takashima Island." Though it is a small island with North-South 130m, East-West 35m and 25m in height, the unique figure which there is a circle shaped hole by erosion is a symbol of Shirahama.
