Kichiemon

Also known as: 吉右衛門 (Japanese) · 吉右衛門出し (Japanese) · 吉右エ門出シ (Japanese) · Kichiemondashi

JF Wakayama Higashi counts it among the near sites with dramatic terrain: steep-sided rocks with drop-offs, small caves and surprisingly rich soft coral for a spot with little current. On clear days the view over the white sand is striking. The deeper south side, where few divers go, has untouched soft corals and sea fans, and Akasyachi mentions a rock nicknamed Cinderella Castle for its nudibranchs and a cave visited by a large ray. Amberjacks often pass in summer, and guides also come here to search for nudibranchs.
