7 Naturally Sculpted Beauty: The Earth Pillars of Awa
Dozens of earth pillars in a row make onlookers marvel at the mysteries of nature, wondering how such a curious sight came to be. The view from the top and nighttime illuminations are also worth seeing. Walk along the promenade to find an observation deck where great consideration has been given to its design, with a wooden fence and lights installed low to illuminate your path and guide you to the viewing point.
