25 Best Tourist Attraction Beaches in Japan - Part 02
Japan is a long island country with the East
China Sea on one side and the Japanese Sea on the other. Its length leads to a
lot of coastline, home to a lot of beaches. However, the swimming season and
the climate vary significantly from north to south. Most of the best beaches
for swimming and sunbathing are in South Japan, Okinawa, but there are also
many great beaches in other parts of the country.
13.Shirahama Chuo Beach
Shirahama Chuo Beach is one of Izu 's most
popular and famous attractions and a long beach with a length of about 800
metres. While many people go to the beach for sun and sand, the beach is also
famous for its relatively good surfing conditions. Shirahama Beach is also one
of Shimoda 's most popular swim beaches. Parallel between the beach and the

from nearby Shirahama Beach. This beach is a little bit more popular with

Soutoura is about seven minutes by bus from Shimoda Station, and about a
five-minute walk away.
15.Suishohama
Suishohama appears to be a beach in the
Philippines, in the Caribbean or even in Okinawa somewhere. Instead, the beach,
which can be translated as " Crystal Beach, " is located in the
prefecture of Fukui in Japan, in the same region of Hokuriku, well known for
its heavy snow in the winter. Fukui is well-known in western Japan for its
swimming and diving spots. Many tourists come to Suishohama Beach for the
amazingly crystal clear blue waters in the summer months. The clear waters make
the beach a great place to snorkel.
16.Wakasawada Beach
Wakasawada Beach is located in the picturesque
beach town of Takahama about two hours by train from the town of Kyoto. It is a
beach that not many Western tourists have ever heard about, but it is becoming
increasingly popular. Wakasawada Beach hugs a large bay and has two protective
arms extending into the Japanese Sea, providing a gentle slope into the calm
waters of the ocean. Visitors come to the beach for sunbathing, relaxation, hot
waters and kayaking on the sea. Takahama is also a popular place for sailing
and paddling.
17.Kataonami Beach
Visitors to the
many beaches in the Kansai area of Japan can find many of them in Wakayama,
such as the great Kataonami beach. In addition to the clear waters of the beach
and its clean environment, many people come and visit Kataonami because of its
close proximity to Osaka, about an hour and 30 minutes away. This makes it a
good day trip from Osaka, which allows visitors to escape the busy city during
the day. Kataonami Beach is also ideal for a walk in the evening and the
amazing sunset views.
18.Kotohiki Beach
Kotohiki Beach in Japan offers a Caribbean beach. Many
people can think of the beautiful Biwa Lake beaches when they think of the
local beaches in the country's Kansai region. These, however, can get crowded.
Kotohiki Beach is a great alternative in the prefecture of Kyoto, located along
the coast of Japan. The beach boasts golden white sands, which overlooks the
cliffs for miles. Visitors can take a look at the sun behind a mountain across
the water. By train, the beach can be reached from Kyoto Station on the JR
line.
19.Keinomatsubara Beach
Keinomatsubara Beach is one
of Japan's most prominent beaches, with an amazing white sandy beach and
endless pine forests. The beach is known since ancient times for its picturesque
scenery, with a poem even written about the area. There are about fifty
thousand Awaji black pines in the area, adding to the scenic beauty of
Keinomatsubara Beach. The beach is also renowned for being one of the best
spots on Awaji Island to see the sun at night and was even named one of the top
100 spots in Japan to watch the sunset.

Japan's island country has its own sand bar,
which appears and disappears with certain oceanic tides. This unique sandbar
can be found in Yurigahama, Yoronjima in the prefecture of Kagoshima. The views
from Yurigahama often make visitors feel like walking in the white sand and
crystal clear waters in the clouds, creating a spectacular and almost magical

sand bar. Due to star-shaped sand, the beach is often associated with stars.

Line to Mizushiri Station and walk to Beach Saka in only five minutes. The
beach is located in a rural seaside village. Visitors can see local people
fishing at the beach and swimming is permitted in July and August.
22.Hitotsuku
Hitotsuku Beach is another beach in Japan which is not as well known and therefore not as crowded as many of Japan's other beaches. The beach retains its particular natural beauty. Hitotsuku Beach has some rocky areas here and there, but it shows how untouched the beach is. Hitotsuku Beach's waters range from light blue to smart green, creating an amazing contrast to the white sandy beach. Visitors may feel as though they have entered another country.
23.Sesoko Beach
Sesoko Island is famous for its smooth white sandy beaches, and Sesoko Beach in particular. Another key aspect of Sesoko beach is that it boasts the clearest waters from all over Okinawa 's main island. Visitors can swim at this pleasant beach to their heart's content, and friendly lifeguards usually watch over swimmers. Families may be more comfortable knowing that their young children can play under the vigilant eyes of lifeguards in the waters. One good thing about Okinawa 's main island is that car travelers can travel between the islands by car.
24.Kondoi Beach
Kondoi Beach is situated on a rather small island called Taketomijima, approximately six kilometers west of Ishigakijima. The beach helps to preserve the pristine natural beauty of the island of Okinawa, with crystal clear smart green waters that add white sand and vibrant blue skies to the beautiful scenery. Swimming during the high tide is possible and the waters are calm and safe.
25.Sunayama Beach
Sunayama Beach is just five
kilometers from Miyako Airport and several roads lead to it. The easiest way to
reach the beach is to take a taxi or to rent a car. Once you get closer to the
beach, you will see a big rock with " Sunamayama Beach " After
passing the rock, the path leading to the beach is visible. The road is paved
up to this point and can be easily walked. The path then becomes one composed
of white sand. Guests are rewarded with beautiful views when they arrive at the
beach.
