Sakurai Futamigaura in Itoshima City, known as the "Sunset Futamigaura," contrasts with Mie Prefecture's "Sunrise Futamigaura." Sacred for its Sakurai Shrine, a nationally designated Important Cultural Property, it features the Meoto Iwa (Couple Rocks) about 150m offshore. The male rock is 11.8m high, and the female rock is 11.2m. At the summer solstice, the sunset beautifully aligns between these rocks. Surrounding the area, various restaurants and cafes make it a year-round tourist favorite.
