Hamada Castle Ruins

The site of the former Hamada Clan castle, now cherished as a beautiful park. Though the buildings are gone, the exquisitely piled stone walls and the reconstructed gate convey the samurai authority of the past. The castle mountain is a small hill, and from the observatory, you can enjoy a wonderful view overlooking Hamada City, the deep blue Sea of Japan, and the massive "Hamada Marine Bridge." The ruins colored by spring cherry blossoms and autumn foliage are very photogenic. A perfect spot for a stroll where you can feel the city's history connecting the samurai era to the present...

Hamada Marine Bridge
Shimane

Hamada Marine Bridge

A beautiful cable-stayed bridge spanning 615m over Hamada Port. With an elegant design featuring cables stretched diagonally from white towers like a bird spreading its wings, it is a symbol of Hamada City. A pedestrian path is also developed on the bridge, offering breathtaking views of the Sea of Japan horizon, fishing boats coming and going in the port, and the scene of the sky turning madder red at sunset. The illuminated night view is especially mystical, and viewing it from the nearby castle ruins across the port is also recommended. A place where you can directly feel the expanse...

Imafuku Line Ruins
Shimane

Imafuku Line Ruins

Remains of the "uncompleted line" in Hamada City, where construction was halted halfway and no train ever ran. Concrete arch bridges and tunnels standing quietly in the forest exude a unique atmosphere like ancient ruins. The sight of nature silently reclaiming man-made structures is beautiful yet somewhat poignant, gaining immense support from photography enthusiasts and ruin fans. The remains of Modern Japan's dreams still exist while harmonizing with great nature. It is a very mysterious and photogenic place that makes you feel the "if" of history.

An open beach perfect for fully enjoying a Japanese summer and refreshing while feeling the sea breeze.

Iwami Tatamigaura

A stunning coastline designated as a National Natural Monument, featuring a vast flat rock platform called "Senjojiki." During low tide, the mirrored pools reflect the sky, creating a dreamlike landscape often compared to an "entrance to another world." Fossils are visible in the rocks, making it geologically fascinating. It is a perfect spot for walking and photography, especially during sunset.
