Doyama in Ashiya

A Huge Cave on the Coast!

Doyama, in the town of Ashiya, was formed by two separate islands that became connected by land.
On Doyama is a cave with a height of 10 meters, a width of 12 meters, and a length of 30 meters. It was formed by many years of weathering, but appears so perfect that locals tell of the following legend:
“An ancient empress stopped here on her way to battle, and shot an arrow at the island to pray for victory. The arrow pierced straight through the island, and the hole became bigger and bigger over the years until it reached the size we see today.”
You can also enjoy fishing and exploring the rocks, and if you want to cross over to the island, visit at low tide.
