Kasumi Beach

Japanese: 香住海岸 - かすみかいがん
Kasumi Beach

This coast faces the Sea of ​​Japan in Kami Town, Mikata County, in northern Hyogo Prefecture. It has been designated a national place of scenic beauty and is one of the most picturesque spots in San'in Kaigan National Park. On either side of Kasumi Bay, the coastline stretches for about 10 kilometers, with Tajima Sekiheki to the east, Yoroi No Sode (a national natural monument) to the west, and Kujaku Cave, attracting tourists with its varied beauty. It is a typical subsidence coastline, with the mountains made up of various volcanic rocks eroded by the fierce winter waves, creating a rocky coastline with a series of columnar jointed cliffs, caves, caverns, and oddly shaped rocks. The sandy beaches scattered along the coastline, such as Kasumihama and Kuntani, are great swimming spots.

兵庫県北部、美方(みかた)郡香美町(かみちょう)の日本海に臨む海岸。国の名勝に指定され、山陰海岸国立公園を代表する景勝地。香住湾を挟んで東の但馬赤壁(たじませきへき)、西の鎧ノ袖(よろいのそで)(国の天然記念物)、孔雀(くじゃく)洞門など約10キロメートルにわたって変化に富んだ海岸美が観光客をひきつける。典型的な沈降海岸で、各種の火山岩類からなる山地が冬の激しい波浪で侵食され、柱状節理の絶壁や洞窟(どうくつ)、洞門、奇岩の連続する岩石海岸となった。点在する香住浜、訓谷(くんたに)などの砂浜海岸は海水浴場となる。
