9.4 Yonaguni / Higawa

Following a pamphlet from Yaeyama Tourist Office : "Where did these ruins come from ?









Numerous terraces stairs and trenches can be found.
Various discoveries and man made workpieces support the theory that this structure was made by humans".

Ruins of the lost Kingdom of Mu or simply nature ?  Doesn´t matter, beautiful shapes under the blue and green sea.

Thanks to Akishige san the guide who knows very well this ruins. I would like scuba dive there with him one day not so far.
