Sanko Line connecting Gotsu and Miyoshi. If you take the first train from Gotsu, the early morning light is beautiful. Or you can take the later train around lunch time, jump off at Iwami Kawamoto and catch the return train 15 minutes later. It's also possible to use Geibi Line from Miyoshi to reach Kisuki, then Shinji and get back on to the San'in main line. There are lots of different ways to do a day-trip, or stay over in Iwami and enjoy the beautiful beaches and Kagura. The best scenery is nearer Gotsu where the river is widest, rather than the Miyoshi side. Last chance!
