Flow of the course

About this spot

A base facility of Sanin Coast Geopark adjacent to Michi no Eki Kinansei Iwami. The museum offers extensive exhibits on the formation of the Sanin Coast, its geological wonders, and marine life. While enjoying the displays, you can learn why the peculiar rocks and dramatic cliffs you saw on the boat tour were formed. Admission is inexpensive, and it's a great place to cool off during the hot summer hours, making it invaluable for families with small children. On the day of the fireworks festival, you can use this time to reflect on the Sanin nature you've experienced throughout the day before heading to the coast. The staff explanations and exhibit panels are easy to understand, and adults will find plenty to enjoy as well.
