Uradome Coast
浦富海岸
A granite coast about 15 km east of the Tottori Sand Dunes, with odd rock islets and turquoise water, known as 'Sanin's Matsushima' and best seen by sightseeing boat.
Uradome Coast lies in Iwami Town and is a representative landscape of the San'in Coast Geopark. Along about 15 km of coastline, the sea has eroded granite into sea arches, rock reefs and pine-covered islets, with clear water. The most common way to see it is a sightseeing boat from Ajiro Port, about 40 minutes and roughly 1,500 yen, or a small island cruise that gets close to the caves. You can also sign up for sea kayaking. In summer, Uradome Beach and Jōbara Coast are suitable for swimming and snorkeling. From JR Iwami Station, a bus takes about 10 minutes to the boarding point. Boats do not run on days with high waves.
