Kyotango Geotrail

Conquer all courses!Kyotango Geotrail Program

The Kyotango Geotrail program is an approximately 80 km long trail consisting of 8 walking courses which traverse the Kyotango area of the San’in Kaigan UNESCO Global Geopark from Tango-cho to Kumihama-cho (east to west). Kyotango is one of the few places in Japan where you can walk such a long distance trail using mostly natural paths along the coastline.
On the trail you can discover the untouched nature along the coast of the Sea of Japan from the expansive natural scenery of the Geopark to the landscape, history and culture of local fishing villages. From the pristine sands and craggy rocks of the coast, to the sand dunes and mountain trails further inland, there are various terrains to journey through.
