This cliff near the northern side of Kubura's port offers views of the last sunset in Japan, and on a good day it is possible to see the shadow cast by Taiwan in front of the setting sun from here. This is also the site where, in the rough period when residents of the island were forced to pay an alarmingly expensive head tax after the Ryukyu Kingdom was conquered by the Satsuma clan from the Japanese mainland, pregnant women were sometimes made to jump to their death to avoid an increase in population.

西崎
Yonaguni's main aboveground sight of any interest is the marker for the westernmost point of Japan (日本最西端の碑) at the westernmost tip of the island, about a kilometer from Kubura (15 minutes on foot). Despite the marker being located on the island, the official westernmost point of Japan and the closest point to Taiwan is Tuishi (トゥイシ), a rocky reef about 120 m northwest of the shoreline that remains barely above sea level at high tide. It's 107.3 km from there to swim directly across to Wuyanjiao (烏岩角) in Suao, Taiwan.

メインテラス階段
Formation that looks like giant stairs at the Main Terrace. There are some photos of these stairs on the internet, taken here from a specific angle, such that the stairs look like a pyramid going up high. In reality that is not the case.
