Dramatic limestone formations tower over the turquoise waters of Uradome Coast, where kayaking reveals hidden sea caves and secluded coves. Hike through Sanin Kaigan National Park's coastal trails before cooling off at Uradome Beach's pristine shores, just a short walk from local seafood markets.

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".
