Nature and History

Kaka and its environs are home to numerous islands and sea caves that can be reached only by boat, including Kaka no Kukedo. This famous sea cave is split into two areas, New Kukedo and Old Kukedo. New Kukedo has three entrances, and the cave itself is huge, measuring 40 m high and 200 m in length. If the weather is not too rough, sightseeing boats can sometimes go right into the cave, offering passengers a spectacular view of the interior. This cave is featured in an episode from Izumo no Kuni Fudoki, an eighth-century chronicle. The story goes that the mother of Sada Okami, one of the gods of Izumo, was about to give birth in this cave, but it was terribly dark. She used her golden bow to bore light holes in the cave, and not long after gave birth to Sada Okami. Old Kukedo is a smaller cave about 5 m wide and is said to be the site of the Sai no Kawara, an underworld riverbed where the souls of children who died in miscarriages or at a very young age become stranded. The coast of Kaka includes many spectacular rocky coastal sites, including Katsurashima Island, a lava dome formed 15 million years ago by underwater volcanic activity, and the Seven Caves of Tako (Tako no Nanatsuana), a series of caves formed by the constant crashing of waves against 50 m–tall sea cliffs. The town of Kaka itself was an important port town for large wooden trading ships, called kitamaebune, that distributed goods all along the coast of the Sea of Japan in feudal times.

Activities

Weather permitting, visitors to Kaka can take a cruise boat that visits the mystical sea caves of Kaka (Kaka no Kukedo). The cruise takes about one hour. There is also a tour of the Seven Caves of Tako (Tako no Nanatsuana). Sea kayaking, swimming, and fishing are available along the coast, while those who prefer dry land can go for a stroll through the historic harbor town of Kaka or for a 30-minute trek on Katsurashima Island. There is a campsite on this island, located right by the beach.

自然與歷史

加賀及其周邊海岸，分布著不計其數的島嶼與海蝕洞，只能乘船前往。其中知名的「加賀潛戶」，以「潛戶」之名被指定為「國家名勝」及「天然記念物」，由「新潛戶」和「舊潛戶」兩個海蝕洞構成。「新潛戶」是高40公尺、長200公尺的大洞窟，三面均有入口，天氣晴朗時，可乘船穿梭其中。8世紀的史書《出雲國風土記》中寫道，出雲神靈佐太大神出生之時，其母嫌海蝕洞中太過昏暗，遂舉金弓鑿穿洞穴，該洞穴即為新潛戶的洞窟。而入口寬5.5公尺左右的洞窟「舊潛戶」，相傳是祭奠夭折幼童的靈魂之地，被稱為「賽之磧」。此外，在加賀海岸還可欣賞諸多雄偉的海岸風光，例如1500萬年前誕生於海底火山的火山穹丘「桂島」，以及高50公尺的峭壁經過海浪侵蝕而成、可見數個海蝕洞相連的「多古七穴」等。值得一提的是，在封建時代，加賀小鎮曾是經由日本海運送物資的大型木造船「北前船」停靠的重要港口。
