About Uradome Coast ― how to enjoy a walk
A ria coast representing the San'in Coast Geopark. Highly transparent emerald-green sea with chains of strange rocks like Senganmatsu Island and Natane Goto, called "Alps of the Sea."
~40 min Nikko bus from JR Tottori Station. Sightseeing boat from Ajiro Port (1,400 yen, 40 min) tours strange rocks, or small boat (2,500 yen) for sea cave passage is popular. Land route: ~1 hour walk on San'in Coast Geopark Trail.
Smoking rules and things to watch around Uradome Coast
Tourist areas across Tottori have widely adopted street-smoking bans, with fines for violations. Indoors, the revised Health Promotion Act mandates smoke-free environments by default; smokers must use a designated smoking room, a heated-tobacco-only room, or an outdoor designated smoking spot.
The entire coast is a national park special protection zone with strict fire prohibition — littering cigarette butts is punishable. Smoke at the Ajiro Port waiting area or designated area in front of Iwami Station. Strictly enforced during swimming season.
