The Kasumi Coast, located in northern Hyogo facing the Sea of Japan, is a dynamic scenic spot that can be called the highlight of the San'in Kaigan Geopark. Cliffs, strange rocks, and sea caves carved by rough waves over many years continue, and if you board the sightseeing boat "Kasumi-maru," you can enjoy the complex and beautiful natural formations that can only be seen from the sea up close. In particular, "Kaeru-jima" (Frog Island), shaped like a frog, is popular as a power spot that fulfills wishes such as returning lost things or rejuvenation. It is also famous as a gourmet town where you can indulge in exquisite seafood including "Kasumi Crab" in winter. It is a luxurious area where you can taste the wonders of nature and the blessings of the sea at the same time.
