Sakaiminato

Tucked between the Sea of Japan and Nakaumi lagoon at the northern end of the Yumigahama Peninsula, Sakaiminato is a place whose character is shaped by its working port and coastal setting. Fishing remains central to local life, and seafood landed here is a defining part of the city’s identity, especially during crab season. Sakaiminato is also the birthplace of manga artist Shigeru Mizuki, celebrated along Mizuki Shigeru Road through bronze figures inspired by his yōkai characters. The Eshima Ohashi Bridge crosses Nakaumi toward Matsue in neighbouring Shimane Prefecture. See how Sakaiminato fits into the wider San’in coast by browsing webcams nearby.
