  • Usu Beach
    Leisure / Hobbies
    Hokkaido Date-shi Mukaiusucho
    This beach in Date city is also called Shonan of the north. The influence of the warm ocean Tsushima Current and its location facing an enclosed harbor, mean that is gets lots of clear weather. Since the sea here is shallow, and the waves gentle, it's popular with families. During the beach season, the beach house at the entrance offers flush toilets and showers. Nearby you can enjoy the incredible scenery of the Cape Arutori campground, or try marine sports at the Kaiyo center, so there are loads of outdoor activities to enjoy.

  • Gennadai Kaihin Park, Sea Pool
    Leisure / Hobbies
    Hokkaido Nishi-gun Otobecho Genna
    This leisure pool is in Gennadai Seaside Park, a sprawling area of greenery and play equipment near the sea. This bathing area is fully surrounded by breakwaters to keep the rough Sea of Japan waves at bay, so bathers can play in safety. This is the only beach in Hokkaido included in the Ministry of the Environment's the Best Beach 100 of Japan. It's particularly popular since the interior of the bay is such that the sea water flows steadily through, keeping waves under control for safe swimming. There are barrier-free toilets and changing rooms, with ramps down to the beach and even amphibious vehicles available, so it is a truly barrier-free beach.

  • Atsuta Beach Pool
    Leisure / Hobbies
    Hokkaido Ishikari-shi Atsuta-ku Atsuta 12-2
    This beach, surrounded by wave-breaking rocks, has wonderfully calm waves. The beach pool, which is only a short distance from the city center of Sapporo, is an attractive place to visit because it is open to visitors during other periods as well as the sea bathing season. Adjacent to Atsuta Port, the beach pool can also be enjoyed alongside the fishing port's morning market, which is open every day from early April to mid-October. And because it is close to the Roadside Station Ishikari Ai Road, and also to the Atsuta observation deck lover's sacred spot, visitors can enjoy many different ways to spend each season on the beach.

  • Kawashimo Beach (Hamamasu Pirika Beach)
    Leisure / Hobbies
    Hokkaido Ishikari-shi Hamamasu-ku Kawashimo
    This swimming destination is notable for its clear ocean waters and carefully maintained fine sand beach. Located 90 minutes from downtown Sapporo and two hours from Asahikawa, during swimming season this popular beach bustles with visitors. Lifeguards are stationed at the beach during swimming season, ensuring visitors can enjoy the beach in safety. The beach is adjoined by a grass lawn campground, and many groups like to stay here and make use of the beach during their stay. The campground's cookhouse, flush toilets, and other proper facilities are a nice bonus.

Hokkaido Areas

around-area-map

Not just a prefecture but an island of its own, Hokkaido is the most northerly prefecture and island of the Japanese archipelago. Arriving in Hokkaido, which is rural and bursting with breathtaking nature, means entering a world where vast national parks, towering mountains, and natural hot springs can be found at every turn. Come December, these natural splendors freeze over and morph into a winter wonderland.
