This rocky coast consists of 30-million-year-old granite formed in the era when the Japanese archipelago was part of the continent and the Sea of Japan did not exist. The rough wave of the Sea of Japan and winter winds erode the granite rocks along fracture and faults, creating the unique coastal terrain of coastal caverns, boulders, and coastal platforms.

Guide Recommend
Here you can enjoy a beautiful landscape: the clear sea water, which is transparent even 25 meters beneath the sea surface, a crystalline beach with quartz sand, green pine trees growing on the white granite rocks, and the 15-km-long Uradome Coast of rocky beaches and sandy beaches one after the other. The view from the nature trail from Kamogaiso to Shirawara Beach is especially beautiful. The course, with its many ups and downs, may be a little hard for beginners, but you can enjoy the beautiful landscape of granite with fractures and the shapes of the waves formed by the seasonal winds. It is wonderful to feel the atmosphere created by the seasonal winds.
