    Hyougo Pref. Tatsunoshi Mitsuchoukurosaki
    A shallow coastal beach area considered one of the most beautiful in the Kinki region, an area with numerous such locations. The beach is located in Setonaikai National Park a 25-minute drive from the Chuji interchange on the Himeji By-pass or a 30-minute drive from the Tatsuno and Tatsuno-nishi interchanges. Visitors can swim here during the summer and enjoy clamming from early April to late June. When in season, visitors can dig up Japanese littleneck clams, razor clams, and other varieties, and during the Golden Week holidays, nearby parking areas are crammed with people looking to go clamming. An ocean festival and beach volley ball tournaments are held on the beach in summer.

    快適に楽しめるポイント! 朝は潮干狩りの会場が開く前に到着すること。休憩場所に近い駐車場に入れるし、休憩場所も好きなところを確保できます。休憩場所は昼前なんかに行くとなかなか空いていません。 バケツ、熊手など基本的な道具類は全て安価でレンタルできるので、わざわざ持っていかなくても大丈夫です。 10:00か10:30に開場します。干潮前でも皆ザブザブ海に入って、手探りで貝を探します。それくらい...

    Hyogo Ako-shi Misaki 1984-2
    This beach is located next to the Hyogo Prefectural Ako Seaside Park. The wide shallow beach, which stretches along a tidal flat, is about an eight-minute drive from the Ako Interchange on the Sanyo Expressway towards Misaki. It is famous as both a bustling destination for ocean swimming in the summer as well as a clamming spot in the spring. You can enjoy searching for nutritious clams including asari clams with the whole family from late April to early July every year. Clammers can take a clam bag full of clams (use of one designated clam bags available for purchase is required). The adjacent Ako Seaside Park features a wide range of facilities including an amusement facility and one of the largest drive-in camping site in the prefecture, so many beach-goers also visit the park.

Hyogo prefecture stretches from the north coast to the south coast on the western end of the popular Kansai region, encompassing verdant mountains, urban beaches, and fantastic historical sights. The prefecture’s main attractions lie along the south coast at Kobe, the prefectural capital, a pretty harbor city best known for its production of the renowned Kobe beef, and Himeji, the home of Himeji Castle, one of the country’s most beautifully preserved feudal castles, perched magically atop a hill.
