Volcaniclastic flow and pumice stone of a submarine volcano; an open sea cave

The beautiful layers of white volcanic ash are among the most distinguishing features of Dogashima. A large open topped sea cave (Tensodo–designated as a natural monument) is also located in the area. Visitors can walk upto the cave along a trail or take a boat that enters the cavity.
