Gankakeiwa Rocks

Two gigantic rocks sticking out at the tip of Yagoshi Cape are Gankakeiwa Rocks.
The rock on the left is Onnaiwa (female rock) and on the right is Otokoiwa (male rock), and together, they have been worshiped from the ancient time.
The two gigantic rocks look just like an embracing couple, thus are believed to make the wish for romance come true.
