Located on the eastern coast of Cape Muroto, the Meoto Iwa Rocks were created by sea erosion. The mysterious appearance of the rocks tied together with shimenawa ropes and the spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean make this a perfect spot for finding love.
Located on the coastline of Cape Muroto in Muroto City, Kochi Prefecture, Kaoka's Married Couple Rocks are unusually shaped rocks carved by the rough waves of the Pacific Ocean and wind and rain. The two rocks, one large and one small, stand side by side and are tightly bound together by a sacred rope, reminiscent of the Married Couple Rocks featured in Japanese mythology. Their mystical appearance, combined with the magnificent Pacific Ocean view behind them, make them a popular spot for those praying for matchmaking and marital harmony, as well as tourists seeking stunning views.

The greatest appeal of these Married Couple Rocks lies in their unique beauty and sacred atmosphere. Formed over eons by ocean erosion, the rock faces speak of the power of nature. The two rocks, bound together by the sacred rope, resemble a married couple embracing each other, and simply looking at them is soothing. Particularly at sunrise, the Married Couple Rocks stand out against the glowing sky and sea, creating a mystical sight. Their beauty is sure to impress.

There are only a few small parking spaces on both sides of the road.

[Trivia]
The sacred ropes that connect the two rock formations in Shikaoka are regularly replaced by local residents, and this faith is still cherished and passed down to this day.
