Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature in Honshū
Hashi(=bridge)+Gui(kui=pier)+Iwa(=rocks).
Magma had penetrated the cracks in the stratum, tidal waves washed away the soft stratum then hard igneous rocks remain like bridge piers.
The piers seem to reach Ōshima (大島) island where the wreckage of the Turkish frigate Ertuğrul occurred. The rescue of the foreign victims is the origin of the everlasting friendship between Japan and Turkey, the Turkish Airlines rescued the isolated Japanese resident workers in Tehran after Saddam Hussein's declaration of anti-aircraft fire, as the returning gratitude for the event 95 years ago.
