15 km of cliffs: a small boat goes into the caves where large boats cannot.
Fifteen kilometres of granite coastline carved by the sea into cliffs, sea stacks and caves, nicknamed ‘the Matsushima of San'in’. The water is clear to a depth of 25 metres. The boat ‘Uradome-gō’, smaller than ordinary vessels, can slip into the inlets and caves where the others cannot pass, on the stretch between Ajiro port and the Shirogahara coast.
A stretch of coast in San'in Kaigan National Park and the San'in Kaigan UNESCO Global Geopark, in the municipality of Iwami; it is listed among the ‘100 landscapes of Japan’ and the ‘100 white beaches and pine groves of Japan’.
ℹ️ The coast and the scenic trails are free and always accessible. The boat tour from 網代港 (Ajiro port) runs from March to November, 9:30–15:30, closed from December to February; adults 1,800 yen, elementary school children 900 yen. Address of the boarding point: 鳥取県岩美郡岩美町大谷2182, tel. 0857-73-1212.
