Futatsugame

This small island looks like two turtles nestled close together and floats just off the northern shore of Sado Island. Also called 'Oki no Shima' and 'Iso no Shima' the island is isolated at high tide but reconnects to Sado Island during low tide. Boasting the clearest seawater in the Sado area, the spacious beach in front of Futatsugame has been selected as one of Japan's top 100 beaches. Along with nearby Onogame, this spot has received two stars in the Michelin Green Guide Japan. Campsites are also available and the summer opening of beach season always draws large crowds of tourists.
