Koura is a beach house that looks out over the Sea of Japan. Heading down the slope of the sort of narrow alley found in port towns, and out to the Sea of Japan, you arrive at a place to experience salt making.
. Here, seawater is drawn from the sea into a large kiln and is fired. The water is steamed off or and dried in the sun for about three days to make Shizuno Iwaya Sea Salt using traditional production methods. In the experience, seawater is put in a pot and stirred to prevent burning over a fired clay stove.
On the sandy beach down from the wharf where the salt making experience is held, there is a cave called Shizuno Iwaya that appears in the myths of Izumo. There you can learn about history while listening to the mysterious myths.
