Morning Sun Shining through the Eye (Hole) of Taijima Island ("Red Snapper Island")(Taishima-no Me-ni Hairu Asahi)

鯛島の目に入る朝日

"Golden eye snapper" off the coast of Koza

There is a moment when the morning sun moves right behind and shines through the eye (hole) of Taijima Island (literally meaning “Red Snapper Island”), which is located about 1 km away from the estuary of the Koza-gawa River. This scene can be photographed from October to February. The perfect moment to take a good shot of the scene is 30 seconds after sunrise.
