Perched along the rugged edge of Jogashima Island off the Miura Peninsula, Umanose Cave Mouth is a breathtaking natural rock arch forged by centuries of crashing Pacific waves. Once a submerged cavern accessible by boats, the formation was dramatically uplifted during the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake and now stands proudly above the rocky beach. Today, the striking 'horse-back' aperture creates a picture-perfect frame for the surrounding seascape, making it a favorite stop for photographers and romantic day-trippers. Wandering the windswept coastal trails to reach this unique geological marvel offers one of the most scenic seaside walks in Kanagawa.
