2026 Ago no Matsubara Beach 1-Day Full Course

A 1-day course centered on Ago no Matsubara Beach in Shima City, which opens from July 18 (Saturday) to August 31 (Monday) 2026, featuring the sea and nature of Ise-Shima. In the morning, first visit Isozakigū (伊雑宮), an ancient shrine known as a branch shrine of Ise Grand Shrine, to pray for safe travels. Next, venture to Yokoyama Observatory along Pearl Road to admire the spectacular view of Ago Bay with its complex ria coastline. For lunch, stop at Ise-Shima Michi-no-Eki for fresh seafood and local cuisine. Then in the afternoon, enjoy the day's climax at Ago no Matsubara Beach with its calm, shallow white-sand beach lined with black pine groves, swimming until sunset. Swimming is free, though parking and showers are fee-based. Toilets are free and located in 2 places, and about 3 beach houses operate, so rest stops are convenient. Beach wheelchairs are available, making it a safe and welcoming beach for families with small children and those with mobility concerns. Enjoy a summer day filled with the natural beauty and bounty of Ise-Shima's sea.
