Mysterious and beautiful

The kid in me came to the surface when I visited these Sandanbeki Cliffs and Caves in Wakayama. More than 1000 years ago, local pirates used these caves as their headquarters. They'd go out and raid or fight, then sneak back here and hide until they were ready to go out and cause havoc again. It's a really cool place and will spark your imagination!
