Shotenkyo Beach

Beach
A beach northeast of the Shotenkyo. Situated on the westernmost tip of the six kilometer long Long Beach on the Sea of Japan, this beach is the best stretch of white sands and green pines in Sanin Kaigan National Park. During swimming season each year the beach bustles with visitors. The beach was also selected for inclusion in the 88 Best Swimming Beaches in Japan list in 2001. The waters here are shallow and excellent for families with children; another of the area's charms is its abundance of hotels nearby, making this a great destination for a trip. Beachside clubhouses and DJ booths operate during the swimming season.

    夏場は周辺の民宿などに泊まっている家族連れでにぎわっています。真冬でもサーファーの人たちを見かけることも。駐車場からすぐに砂浜に出られ、シーズン前には近隣の方々が観光客などのために清掃活動もされているそう。
