Explore Caves and Undersea Worlds on a Glass-Bottom Boat and Experience the Grandeur of Sanin Kaigan Geopark
About this spot
The Kasumi Coast, included in the Sanin Kaigan Geopark, is a scenic area featuring columnar jointed rock walls and sea caves carved by the Japan Sea's waves over long periods. Aboard a glass-bottom boat, you can peer through the ship's glass bottom to see transparent undersea rock formations and fish while navigating between caves and peculiar rocks. You'll witness continuous moments of children exclaiming "I see it!" while adults are overwhelmed by nature's formations. Thoroughly experiencing Kasumi's sea in daylight—the same sea where tonight's fireworks will launch—will deepen your emotional response when viewing the fireworks.
Fireworks details
Name: 香住ふるさとまつり海上花火大会
Date & time: 7/25 (Sat) Time TBA
Venue: 香美町・香住浜一帯（しおかぜ香苑）
香住ふるさとまつりのクライマックスを飾る海上花火大会です。打ち上げ場所は香住浜の沖合で、陸から見ると花火が海面から空へ向かってまっすぐ打ち上がる、海上花火ならではの構図を楽しめます。波の音が途切れるたびにドーンと響く打ち上げ音が浜辺に届き、大輪の光が広がるたびに歓声が上がります。漁師町・香住の夏祭りならではのアットホームな雰囲気の中、地元の人たちと一緒に夜空を見上げるひとときは格別です。フィナーレが終わったあとも、潮風と波音の余韻の中でしばらく浜に残るのがおすすめです。
