The two rocks—male and female—bound thick and fast by a large sacred straw rope are called Meoto Iwa (Wedded Rocks). They are a symbol of couples and love, and are famous as a symbol of matchmaking. From mid-May to mid-July, on days with favorable weather conditions, the sun can be seen rising exactly between the two rocks.
