Benkei

Also known as: ベンケイ (Japanese)

Hagachizaki, known on land for its wild monkey park, is strongly influenced by the Kuroshio Current. Benkei stands up from about 30 m and its top just breaks the surface. Schools of grunts, takabe and other fish make it feel like an aquarium, and hammerheads have been seen here occasionally. The rugged terrain also holds macro life.
