There are many huge boulders on the coasts of the Yaeyema and Miyako islands that are believed to have been deposited by tsunamis.
There was a legend that an islet disappeared, but this has never been verified.
This set of rocks are called the Ishigaki East Coast Tsunami Rocks.
Among them, Yasura-ufukane, Amatariya–Suuari and Taka-koru sishi have been dragged by the 1771 Meiwa tsunami.
