【Trekking & View】  Koganezaki Cape(Shizuoka pref.)

The rock, which shines golden in the setting sun and resembles a "horse's head," is also known as "Horse Rock" and is said to be a "spot for praying for victory in horse racing."
This shine is apparently due to a mineral called "propylite," which is formed when weathered "andesite" is altered by "hot water" that springs from nearby. (Nihedon @ KesaranPasaran Lab)

 

You can walk to the area ”around the horse's neck”.
It seems to be a popular spot for divers as well.
