    Nigata Pref. Kashiwazakishi Kujiranami Qinghai River
    Just a one-minute walk from JR Kujiranami Station, these beaches represent Niigata in the list of Japan's top 100 beaches. With their easy access from JR Kujiranami Station they draw numerous visitors from all over the country. The road from the station to the beach is lined with shops and during beach season is packed with people. And with the lifeguards on duty coming from the Air-sea rescue team you can bring your children for a dip in the sea without worry. The shore is a reef area scattered with rocks making the beach from Kujiranami to the mouth of the Oumi River a picturesque view, and the beach is known as a wonderful spot to view the setting sun.
