2026 Ajishirahama Beach (網地白浜海水浴場) One-Day Course

This one-day course centers on Ajishirahama Beach (網地白浜海水浴場), open on Ajishima (網地島) in Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture from Saturday, July 25 to Sunday, August 23, 2026, and lets you enjoy an island trip complete with a ferry ride from Ayukawa Port (鮎川港). In the morning, start by getting close to whales and dolphins at Oshika Whale Land (おしかホエールランド) in Ayukawa to build excitement for the sea ahead. Once you've filled up on food, board the ferry to Ajishima, making the boat trip itself part of a special day. After arriving on the island, enjoy the view from Ajishima Lighthouse (網地島灯台) and take a leisurely walk along the nearby Nagato-hama (長渡浜) to feel the presence of the sea. The highlight is Ajishirahama Beach in the afternoon. Swimming hours are from 9am to 3:30pm (with a break from noon to 1pm), and it's a quiet beach with calm, shallow-sloping waves. Swimming is free, and showers, changing rooms, and restrooms are all available, so you can head out without much to carry. In the island's quiet atmosphere, you can leisurely enjoy playing in the shallows and in the sand until close to evening. Just check the ferry schedule ahead of time, and why not head out to Ajishima with your family this summer.
