Senjojiki is a rock plate formed by the sandstone of Neogene. Since sandstone is a rock solidified from sand, it is very soft in texture. After being eroded by waves over the years, it finally formed the complex and unique landscape today. The "stack" of the thousand joeski is pronounced as "tatami" in Japanese, and "fu" means to spread. So Senjojiki means to spread 1,000 tatami mats on the ground. The rock plate is about 4 hectares in size, enough to hold 1,000 tatami mats, hence the name. Senjojiki, Sandanbi and Engetsu Island are also well-known sightseeing spots in Shirahama Town. Coincidentally, the coast where Melaleuca is located belongs to the west coast, so it is naturally a good choice for watching the sunset.
