Tomogaura, Fishing port in Oda, Japan.

The Tomogaura port features stone structures and traditional maritime facilities along the rocky coastline of the Sea of Japan in Shimane Prefecture.

During the Edo period, this port served as a critical shipping point for silver extracted from the Iwami Ginzan mines to international markets.

The port settlement integrates maritime traditions with local fishing practices, maintaining connections to Japan's historical trading networks through preserved architecture.

Visitors can reach Tomogaura by taking a 10-minute walk from Maji Station on the San'in Main Line railway system.

The port encompasses 150,333 square meters of protected UNESCO World Heritage area, including offshore waters and traditional boat mooring structures.
