Uradome Coast Tours

This is a beach and part of the national park. If you look closely, there is a torii gate on the small island off the beach. Looks like an impending storm is approaching so we decided to proceed to the sand dunes which I came for. Luckily for me, no storm at the dunes!

Another scenic part of the coast which is a about 20-30 mins away from the Tottori station. I toured around this area and went for a v short hike before proceeding to the Tottori Sand Dunes. It was a little cloudy that day so the photos didn't turn out as well as I had hoped!

This is part of the Sanin Kaigan National Park in Japan. It is known as the Senganmatsu Island where a pine tree can be found on it!

Wikipedia:
The Uradome Coast is made up of rocks formed by marine erosion, white sandy beaches, and dense scrub pines. The coast stretches for approximately 15 kilometers (9.3 mi) to 16 kilometers (9.9 mi) along the Japan Sea on the eastern tip of Tottori Prefecture from Cape Kugami to Mount Shichiyama. Marine erosion has formed distinctive natural sea walls, cliffs, tunnels, caves, and large rocks of unusual shapes. The Uradome Coast is an important part of the Sanin Kaigan National Park.

The Uradome Coast is known as the "San'in Matsushima" due to its resemblance to Matsushima in Miyagi Prefecture. The author Tōson Shimazaki (1872–1943) was especially fond of the Uradome Coast. He praised the area with the quote "Matsushima is Matsushima, Uradome is Uradome".

The name of the Uradome Coast in Japanese is formed from two kanji. The first, 浦, means "inlet" and the second, 富 means "abundant" or "rich".
