San’in Matsushima Yuran／
Uradome Kaigan Coast Area(Uradome Kaigan Coast)

◆Comment from the Guide　[Certified guides] Type I guides: 6
From an excursion boat, you can enjoy a variety of landscapes consisting of beautiful, white-sand beaches with green pine trees and the complex coastline of the Rias coast. Our excursion boat (for 95 people) rolls less than our small boat (for 12 people), allowing you to enjoy the cruising in a more relaxed atmosphere. However, our small ship can enter narrow channels to visit sea caves and caverns, as well as entering shallow inlets. From these boats, you can grasp the great size of the 70-meter-high cliffs. You can also observe under the water using a special observation device.
