Nariishi-no-Hama is a unique natural coastline located on the west side of Koyama Coast in Koyama Town, Tottori Prefecture. It's characterized by a bed of smooth, round stones, shaped over countless years by the relentless action of the waves. The waves crashing against these stones create a pleasant, resonant sound—a true symphony of nature.
The sound is especially dramatic in autumn and winter when higher waves move larger stones, creating a more powerful and impressive acoustic experience. At sunset, the setting sun paints the sky and sea in vibrant hues, creating a breathtakingly beautiful and magical scene. The contrast between the orange sky and the glistening stones along the shoreline is truly captivating.
Nariishi-no-Hama is also known as an auspicious power spot. The sound of the stones is said to relax the mind and body, promoting good fortune. Furthermore, a local initiative, the "Nariishi-no-Hama Project," focuses on beach cleanup and promoting the area's beauty. This project has garnered attention from various media outlets, including newspapers.
Nariishi-no-Hama offers not only a powerful experience of nature's forces but also the perfect setting for relaxation and rejuvenation. Be sure to visit if you're ever in Tottori Prefecture.
