    This beach is located in the Kiire District in southern Kagoshima City about a 45-minute drive from the Kagoshima Interchange on the Kyushu Expressway or around a 10-minute walk from Nukumi Station. The long and shallow beach is notable for its beautiful white sand and green pine trees. The breakwater built just offshore of the beach protects it from high waves, allowing beachgoers to enjoy swimming with peace of mind. The attached beach house conveniently offers free lockers, showers, and other amenities.

Over 100 active volcanoes across Kagoshima make it one of the Japan's most exciting prefectures. The prefectural capital, Kagoshima city, looks out to one of the prefecture’s most spectacular volcanoes, Sakurajima, an island of its own that can be visited and seen close up or admired from afar, with the promise of breathtaking sunsets complete with frequent puffs of smoke and ash. Down the Satsuma Peninsula, the most southerly part of mainland Japan, waterfalls, sand onsen, and fascinating history await, while Kagoshima's abundance of satsuma imo (sweet potato) provide a wholesome snack as well as one of Japan's favourite drinks - shochu.
