A coastline where you can enjoy the rugged and dramatic landscapes shaped by the Sea of Japan.
Uradome Coast is located in Iwami Town, at the eastern tip of Tottori Prefecture. This coastline stretches about 15 kilometers along a ria shoreline, known for its intricate beauty. The dramatic landscape, shaped by the powerful waves and winds of the Sea of Japan, includes cliffs, caves, and striking rock formations. Uradome Coast has been designated one of Japan's 100 scenic spots, a national scenic beauty site, a natural monument, and is also part of a UNESCO Global Geopark. Often referred to as the "Matsushima of San'in," it boasts an awe-inspiring view.
Between the Ajiro and Tajiri Ports, a particularly scenic stretch of about 3 kilometers features a well-maintained walking path. The path is dotted with observation decks, allowing visitors to enjoy the ever-changing views of the coastline. In contrast to the rugged cliffs, the coast also offers beautiful white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters that are a must-see. In summer, the glowing lights of squid fishing boats and the sunsets over the horizon create stunning evening scenes.
For those wanting a closer view of the complex coastline, boat tours are highly recommended. Options include sightseeing boats with guided commentary from the captain, smaller boats that can enter caves and rock arches, and glass-bottom boats for observing underwater life. For a more hands-on experience, sea kayaking allows visitors to paddle and explore the coast at their own pace.
