The Miracle Window: A Hidden Scenic Spot in Toba City, Mie Prefecture
Experience the Mystical Sea View Through a Natural Window
The Miracle Window is located in Anrakujima Town, Toba City, Mie Prefecture, and is truly a miraculous scenic spot. Positioned about 200 meters ahead of Ishihama Shrine's main hall, this place offers a mystical tourist attraction where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Shima Sea through a unique natural 'window.'
Feel the Heart-Shaped Scenic Point
This natural window is said to resemble a lying heart shape. Additionally, a heart-shaped stone is placed below the window, creating a romantic atmosphere. It is a perfect photo spot for couples or lovers.
Best Visit Times and Points to Note
To enjoy the Miracle Window to its fullest, considering the visit timing is essential.
- Early morning: The moment soft light illuminates the ocean right after sunrise
- After 11 am: The time when the sun rises high and the sea reflection is calm
However, during summer, there are many mosquitoes, so don't forget insect repellent measures.
Access and Physical Considerations
Accessing the Miracle Window requires some physical strength. It is about a 1.7-kilometer journey from the parking lot, with stone steps and steep slopes along the way. The last steep stone steps, in particular, might be challenging for the elderly or those who are not physically fit.
However, when you reach the top, the spectacular view will well reward your efforts. Those lacking physical strength are recommended to take breaks and proceed slowly.

The Miracle Window is not just a tourist spot. Nearby, there are deities who protect the sea, offering a sacred ambiance. It is a place where you can feel the power of nature and the mystical atmosphere while admiring the beautiful sea view, truly a place to purify the soul.
When visiting, it is recommended to respect the sanctity of this place and enjoy the scenery quietly. The Miracle Window is an ideal place to forget the busy everyday life and calm your mind in the great embrace of nature.
