Crimson Sunset Over the Stone-Walled Village

The Sotodomari settlement in Ainan Town, Ehime Prefecture, is famed as the “Village of Stone Walls,” where meticulously stacked stone terraces create a striking vista.

The view at sunset is particularly unforgettable. On this evening, the sun blazed a fiery red as it sank towards distant islands and the shores of Kyushu.

The spectacle was nothing short of majestic – a ball of flame slowly descending, as if being swallowed by the silhouetted mountain ridges on the horizon.
