What this area is like
Kasumi and Hamasaka are crab ports on the San’in coast, a UNESCO Global Geopark of caves and rocks. The Amarube Viaduct crosses high above a village, and Yumura Onsen’s Arayu spring flows at about 98°C, hot enough to boil eggs.
Plan your visit
The JR San’in Line runs along the coast; buses run from Hamasaka to Yumura Onsen.
