<\/a><\/p>\r\nThe Wife rock (left) 23.1 meters\u3000 The Husband rock (right) 22.6 meters<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n This is the \u201cMeoto-iwa\u201d (meaning \u201ccouple\u201d and \u201crock\u201d) on the Nanaura coast in the Aikawa area of Sado city.\u00a0 Meoto-iwa is a symbol of the Nanaura coast, and it is a scenic spot where the rocks are said to bring luck in finding a partner.<\/p>\r\n According\u00a0to the Japanese ancient book \u201cKojiki(Record of Ancient Matters)\u201d, these rocks represent the two original creator gods of Japan.\u00a0 Izanagi-no-mikoto, and his wife Izanami-no-mikoto, gave birth to numerous gods. \u00a0They also gave birth to a number of islands. It\u2019s said that Sado is one of their children.\u00a0 They created Meoto-iwa, which means \u201cA Couple Rock\u201d, as their hiding place on the earth. \u00a0It is said that it that they hid from the heavenly god and took a rest after giving birth, and the later islands are said to have been born from this Meoto-iwa.<\/p>\r\n The right side is the husband’s rock and the left side is the wife’s rock.<\/p>\r\n If\u00a0you look closely at the female rock, there is a fissure whose outline appears to be that of a female silhouette.\u00a0 It\u2019s mysterious.<\/p>\r\n If you visit here, you should definitely stop by the adjacent roadside restaurant. \u00a0You can enjoy the experience of making delicious rice balls using rice from Sado<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\r\n Best rice ball making experience 1,700 yen (tax included)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n The rice used for rice balls is Sado’s Toki certified rice.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n Toki (Japanese Crested Ibis) certified rice is rice is made in paddy fields where pesticides and chemical fertilizers are reduced, so that Toki can use the land as a feeding ground in a nature-friendly environment.<\/p>\r\n While\u00a0cooking rice, you can also experience extracting salt from seawater, which is indispensable for rice balls.<\/p>\r\n The<\/span><\/span>\u00a0mineral-rich Sado seawater is pumped up and boiled to evaporate the water. \u00a0You can experience chopping the wood used to start the fire. \u00a0The drawn seawater is filtered at the adjacent workshop before boiling.\u00a0 It is boiled for 10 hours to remove the water and only the salt remains.<\/p>\r\n It is common to make salted plain rice balls by putting salt on both hands and then forming the rice into shape.\u00a0 But here, first the cooked rice is mixed with salt and then made into a rice ball.\u00a0 By doing so, Sado\u2019s rice and Sado\u2019s salt complement each other\u2019s taste.<\/p>\r\n Once you have decided how much salt you want to add to the rice, use a plastic wrap to hold it. \u00a0The finished rice ball is completed by wrapping it with bamboo skin, and tying it with a string that is also handmade from bamboo skin.<\/p>\r\n You will make two bamboo-skin strings, one for your rice balls, and the other for you to tie to the god of matchmaking outside the roadside restaurant.\u00a0 Tie a string while thinking about the relationship you want to connect. \u00a0It is said that the wish will be fulfilled when this string is naturally untied. Moreover, you can enjoy another experience at this roadside restaurant.<\/p>\r\n That\u00a0is the Sado Kinginzan(Gold and Silver Mine) Emaki(scroll paintings) experience.<\/p>\r\n Experience the Sado Kinginzan Emaki!
