The breathtaking nature of Iwaki's sky staircase

The 'Sky Staircase Promenade' in the Iwaki area of Uwajima-cho, Ochi District, Ehime Prefecture. As the name suggests, it's a rare promenade with stairs seemingly floating in the air, extending along the cliff by the sea. The scenery changes as you walk, offering one stunning view after another.

The revived promenade that overcame adversity

This promenade partially collapsed during the heavy rain in western Japan in 2018 and was inaccessible for a while. However, thanks to the passionate efforts of local residents, the promenade has been reborn. Perhaps the current scenery shines even more brightly because it overcame a challenging journey.

A heart-pounding steep staircase

As you walk the promenade, the first thing you'll notice is the steep staircase. The nearly vertical slope may make your feet feel dizzy, but beyond that lies a wonderful view. Feel the sea breeze as you conquer each step of the staircase to reach the top.

Stunning spot embraced by the cliffs

Once you reach the top, you'll be greeted by a breathtaking view. The cliff, the blue sea, and the natural beauty will captivate your heart. The sight must have elicited exclamations of amazement from many people when they first saw it. Why not take a moment to be intoxicated by the breathtaking view that cannot be fully expressed in photos?

A breathtaking view awaits after a challenging journey. The Sky Staircase Promenade is an unforgettable experience that evokes the greatness of nature and the strength of human spirit.
