    Okayama Pref. Kurashikishi Tamashimakurosaki
    This coast is located in the Tamashima Kurosaki area of Kurashiki City. Made up of western and eastern beach area, it was where the first shore reclamation work in Japan took place over six years from 1983. Sami Beach was set up, and the beautiful sandy beach that has been chosen as one of Japan’s top 100 beaches is visited by many beachgoers.

    Okayama Kurashiki-shi Kojimakarakoto 1421
    A 15-minute drive from the Kojima Interchange on the Seto Chuo Expressway. A shoal located nearly one-kilometer offshore from the coast alongside National Route 430. It only appears from April to August for about three hours during the low tide and is a great place for ocean swimming as well as clam digging and shell gathering. You can access the shoals from the shore via the Karakotomaru sightseeing boat that departs from the pier. Alongside asari clams, giant clams, razor clams, and fan mussels, you can sometimes find fish, large hermit crabs, and sea urchins amongst the rocks and even occasionally seahorses.

Overshadowed by Hiroshima to the west and the Kansai region to the east, Okayama is an easy spot to miss but a nature-rich gem where the Seto Inland Sea laps at its toes and peach and grape farms complete its interior. One of Japan’s Three Great Gardens, Koraku-en in Okayama city is well worth a visit before progressing to Kurashiki, where preserved wooden Edo buildings line the picturesque canal.
