Also in Shirahama are the Sandan-peki cliffs. With an average height of 50m ranging along about 2km of seashore, the cliffs also hide caverns that were once rumored to hide pirates. As you wander around the caverns, you can still see the remains of their habitations. You can see the tiny dots of people on the cliffs.

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. - Albert Einstein
Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. - Shawshank Redemption
We walk through our lives so focused on our daily tasks and griefs. It's important to realize that there is always hope, because without fail, there will always be a touch of color - in a hazy shade of winter.

Very impressive, I didnt see then either! I hope they put firm fences to prevent falling or worse. I think the cliffs have been caused by earthquakes because they are vertically steep and you can still notice the earth layers. It doesn't look like erosion.
