The Hotokegaura (仏ヶ浦, hotokegaura) are a series of rock formations naturally carved from the cliffs in village of Sai on the west coast of the Shimokita Peninsula in Aomori, Japan.

Said to resemble Buddhas, the unusually shaped pillars of rock are a tourist attraction for visitors to this remote part of Japan. Stretching for 2 km, these rocks have been shaped by centuries of erosion. On a sunny day, the reflection off the blue-green water casts a surrealistic reflection off the mammoth boulders.
