A possible, beautiful itinerary for you
Scenic from the Start
Your destination is Susa, a tiny fishing village in the San’in region. Thus, your journey begins near the border of Shimane Prefecture. Enjoy a scenic 40-minute drive along a portion of the Sea of Japan coastline, designated as Kita-Nagato Kaigan Quasi-National Park. Take a sunset stroll along the pristine beach on the grounds of Susa Wan Ecology Camping Ground and the magnificent views of the sea in its sunset beauty. Later that evening, head to Tamagawa Hot Springs to experience the therapeutic Japanese custom of public bathing in a natural hot spring.
Fishing Charm
As you wake up and go to take a look, you enjoy the sight of boats docked in the shining emerald green harbour at the fishing village Esaki. You then head to Saido-ji Temple, built in the early 15th century, followed by a leisurely stroll on a slightly elevated hilly promenade along the coastline. Lunch will be at a local restaurant, followed by a tasting of world-class local sake.
