Hiwasa Sea Turtle Museum Caretta and Yakuoji Temple: A Seaside Beach Walk

A family-friendly course where you spend a full day immersed in sea turtles in Hiwasa, Minami Town, Tokushima Prefecture—a coastal town where red sea turtles come to nest. In the morning, pay your respects at Yakuoji Temple, a renowned temple among the Shikoku Pilgrimage sites, and get a panoramic view of the town of Hiwasa and the sea from the Yugi Pagoda observation point. After enjoying a foot bath break and seafood lunch at Michi no Eki Hiwasa, head to the main attraction: the Hiwasa Sea Turtle Museum Caretta. The children's eyes will be glued to the large pool where sea turtles swim and the displays organized by growth stage. After learning, take an actual stroll along Ohama Coastal Beach, known as the nesting ground, and finish at Tai-no-hama Beach with its outstanding clarity. A full day packed with learning and play—perfect for families who love the sea.
