Umanosato Beach

Umanosuke Beach is a beautiful coast that has been selected as one of "Japan's Top 100 Beaches". In particular, the sight of the sea surface reflecting like a mirror is attracting attention as a fantastic scenic spot. It can be seen on windless early mornings or evenings when the sea surface is calm and the water is transparent, reflecting like a mirror in harmony with the surrounding scenery. Located in the southern part of the Oga Peninsula, during low tide, the rocky surface of the seabed is exposed, allowing visitors to walk on top of the rocks. However, caution is necessary as the rocky area can be dangerous. Why not visit Umanosuke Beach to see the beautiful mirror-like water surface, also known as "Akita's Uyuni Salt Lake"?

At Uonozaki Beach, during low tide, you can see a strange terrain known as the demon's washboard. It's a shallow beach that stretches for about 1.5 kilometers, offering a magnificent view of the rocky terrain and the wide coastline. The demon's washboard is a result of the erosion of uplifted layers that occurred about 10 million years ago, creating a shoreline of twisted and curved rocks that appear during low tide. The name "demon's washboard" is related to a traditional event called Namahage in Oga. Uonozaki Beach is one of the beautiful beaches selected as Japan's Top 100 Beaches, and the demon's washboard, visible during low tide, is a must-see spot for tourists visiting Oga City!

Round rocks called Azuki Iwa are scattered around the seabed terrain, resembling wave-cut platforms. These rocks are considered a mysterious geospot and are loved by locals and tourists alike. At low tide, you can explore the seabed terrain dotted with Azuki Iwa and enjoy a beautiful sight in combination with the surrounding scenery!
