Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature in Kyūshū

In the shire of Sawada hamlet close to Shimoji-jima Airport, numerous rocks are rolling. These are believed to be drifted from the sea by the tsunami in 1771, just like "Obi-iwa" rock on the western shore of the neighbouring Shimoji-jima island.
