Nagato, Yamaguchi / 龍宮の潮吹
Ryugu no Shiofuki (Blowhole)
A blowhole where waves rush into a hole just 1 m high and 20 cm wide near the water at the foot of a cliff, and air compressed in the cavity behind shoots seawater upward. It is on a sea cliff about 500 m northwest of Tsuki village; the rougher the sea, the higher the spray, which can reach 30 m.
