A scenic highlight of the San'in Coast Geopark, known for crystal-clear waters, sightseeing boat cruises, and summer swimming beaches.
Uradome Coast is a celebrated scenic destination in Iwami Town, Iwami District, Tottori Prefecture, and one of the defining landscapes of the San'in Coast Geopark. Relentless waves of the Sea of Japan have carved dramatic coastal formations over countless ages, creating an intricate shoreline of sea cliffs, caves, and small islands that has earned it the nickname 'the Matsushima of San'in.'
The strikingly clear waters of this coast are also a major draw. In summer, several shallow white-sand beaches — including Kamogaiso — are ideal for swimming. While the clifftop walking trails offer spectacular views, a sightseeing boat cruise takes visitors deep into sea caves and through rock arches invisible from land, bringing them face to face with the raw power of the sea cliffs.
Conveniently located about 10 minutes by car from the Tottori Sand Dunes, Uradome Coast is a standard pairing in local sightseeing itineraries. The Iwami Town Tourism Association compiles information on boat cruises and activity programs, including snorkeling and bicycle rental, offering a wide range of ways to enjoy the coast.
