Gotsu

The Sea of Japan defines the setting of Gotsu — its coast and the mouth of the Gōnokawa River give this western Shimane city a distinctly maritime character. The river, which crosses the Chūgoku region before reaching the sea here, has long linked the settlement with the inland areas of Hiroshima Prefecture. Gotsu belongs to the historic Iwami region, known for Iwami Kagura: vigorous masked dance dramas performed to the sound of flutes and drums. Along the coast, rail lines and roads follow narrow strips between the water and wooded hills.
