Kagano Kukedo

A scenic spot on the Sea of ​​Japan coast of the Shimane Peninsula in northeastern Shimane Prefecture. Part of Daisen-Oki National Park, it is a nationally designated Place of Scenic Beauty and Natural Monument. The coast, which is made up of basaltic agglomerates, tuff, and basalt, has been eroded by the sea to form cliffs and caves. The caves consist of Kyu-Kekedo (90 meters high) at the entrance to Kaga Port and Shin-Kekedo (40 meters high, 200 meters long) at the northern end of the cape. Kyu-Kekedo has a Jizo statue and a dice tile, and is dedicated to the spirit of a young child. A glass-bottom boat with a glass bottom operates from Kaga Port in Shimane Town, Matsue City to Shin-Kekedo Cave. Katsurajima Beach is nearby.
