Kuwagawa Beach

This swimming beach is located about a 30-minute drive from the center of Murakami City. A broad beach with finely grained sand extends through Kuwagawa, a hamlet near the basin of the Sasakawa River, an area known as one of the 100 Landscapes of Japan. There is a rocky area nearby that is ideal for playing with rocks and fishing. Since the beach is also near a roadside station and an excursion boat dock, many people come here to barbecue or to participate in marine activities. The sun setting off Awashima Island is a splendid sight, and as sunset approaches, traffic comes to a halt.
