Geological HeritageKami Town

Imagoura

A calm cove which flourished as a port for Kitamaebune Ships (cargo ships sailing the sea of Japan in the Edo period). Currently, the site has a bathing beach with camping sites, which is popular as a seashore recreation spot. It is composed of volcanic rocks, pyroclastic flow deposits and river/lake deposits (alternated strata composed of sandstone and mudstone) dating from the time of early formation of the Sea of Japan.

(1)Kaerujima Rock (Frog Island)
An island formed of andesite. Its frog-like shape is loved by local citizens and sailors.

(2)Senjojiki
Wave-cut terrace developed on the tuff (pyroclastic flow deposit) accumulated during the time of the formation of the sea of Japan.

(3)Obikinohana Cape
A steeped cape formed of andesite at the northern end of Imagoura. There are Obiki rock tunnel and valleys formed by faults on the east side, and cracks of columnar joints are spreading to the brown rock walls and collapsing. It is a wonderful scenic place for viewing the scenic spots on the west side, Kasumi Kaigan Coast, and the whole area near the sea of Japan from the observatory at the tip of the cape.

(4)Imagoura Wakame Festival (May)
Tasting of Wakame (sea weed) hot pot, sale of marine products of Kasumi and Wakame rice balls are provided. You can collect Wakame with your hands and play on the seashore.
