Though controversy arises with the Kimura's invention, but Robert Schoch of Boston University said "I'm not convinced that any of the major features or structures are manmade steps or
terraces, but that they're all natural," he also added that, "It's basic geology and classic stratigraphy for sandstones, which tend to break along planes and give you these very straight edges, particularly in an area with lots of faults and tectonic activity."

But this cultural property is not admired by the Japanese government's Agency for Cultural Affairs astonishingly. The government didn't take a step to protect the site from the intruders, which may affect the site.
