Walking the White Sand Beach of Futami Together: A Town Chosen Among Japan's 100 Greatest Sunsets
About this spot
This representative seaside park of Futami Town has been selected as one of Japan's 100 Greatest Sunsets. Its gently arcing white sand beach stands beautifully against the blue Iyo-nada Bay. The well-maintained white sand is easy to walk on barefoot, and a promenade runs along the coast, perfect for leisurely enjoying the sound of waves. Beloved as a lovers' destination, this beach holds special significance for couples on a date. Since the adjacent Michi-no-Eki Futami is integrated with the park, you can pause for a soft-serve ice cream during your walk. The contrast between the white sand and blue sea in daylight reveals a different side of Futami than the sunset view.
Tips
Use the parking lot at Michi-no-Eki Futami. There is no shade on the beach, so bring a hat. On windy days, sand may blow around, so sunglasses are recommended.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes. The contrast between white sand and blue sea is most striking in the bright light before midday.
