the place is amazing. blue water and cliff, peefect match. well known tourist spot. not enogh parking but huge influx of cars, so it took a long time to find a space for parking. parking usually cost 500. But some parking offers if you shop something from THERE recommended shops worth 1000 or more they refund the parking fee, interesting promotion. there are several cliffs, all picturesque having a blue sea background. for photographer and solo travellers it could be a place to visit. be carefull about choosing your shoes since its a cliff and risky. acessible by JR bus as well. if u are using a private vehicle, do visit the nearest oshima island. free parking, and no such crowd. there are amazing sea food restaurants at the start of the cliff, also by the sides of road. the aroma, the visual is spectacular. do try it. you can buy omiyage, though not so many options.

I feel like I must put it out there, that the ferry does not stop at the island with the Tori gate. I think it was about $15/pp at the time. It will slow down to let you take pictures, but you will not be able to disembark there. It’s a beautiful place to behold, with food stalls and souvenir shops lined up along the sides. If you park at the top, don’t take the small, narrow metal case to go down. Apparently it’s private access ways for the shop employees and they discreetly placed a couch at the bottom to keep people from using it. Rather, there’s a larger staircase (next to an awesome juice shack-highly recommend) that you can take.

We visited a few days ago and most businesses were closed. Upside was that it was quiet, plus there was parking available at no cost right at the sea front because no one was collecting money. (IGNORE the man at the very first lot when making the left turn at the lights. He will gleefully wave in all the cars into his lot and charge 500 yen when no one at the main front is.) The coffee/souvenir shop and an ice cream kiosk by the parking lot staircase were still open. For the rest, you can just leisurely walk around the coastline and admire the unique rock formations. I was glad we made the drive from Fukui to come admire this sight.

The cliffs and scenery are breathtaking! And the ocean waves smashing on the rocky surface below are just spectacular! But if you’re an Empath or a Psychic like me, you might find this place a little bit overwhelming and gloomy. I came here to visit the founder of a nonprofit organization for suicide prevention, so, I’m well aware of some of the darker history of this place. He’s a warm and friendly 80 years old man by the way, still actively working on his cause. Really respect him for his work. Anyway, this is still a great place to visit, if you love the smell of the ocean, seafood and sunset.

Tojinbo Cliffs (東尋方，福井県) in Fukui Prefecture is a famous scenic spot for its series of rugged, precipitous cliffs as high as 25m, which have been eroded by the rough waves of the Sea of Japan. Its columnar joints formed from volcanic magma, stretching almost 1km are a rare geological phenomenon that offers a breathtaking view. Sadly, Tojinbo is also a well-known place in Japan to commit suicide, with as many as 25 people committing suicide by jumping off the 25m high cliffs annually, a number associated with Japan's national hardships and unemployment rates.

getting there was a bit confusing, not being able to read japanese. but thanks to google maps we managed to get to tojinbo cliffs very easily. the cliffs were amazing to look at. best thing was you could scale and climb some of these rocks! but beware of slippery spots and strong winds, as there were no security measures whatsoever. we didn't have much time, so we skipped oshima island, which is close by. would recommend going there first, as the bus stops on route to tojinbo.
