Walk through the crystal-clear inlet of a 100 Best Clean Swimming Beaches site

About this spot

Susa Bay is a particularly transparent inlet on Yamaguchi Prefecture's Sea of Japan coast and has been selected for the Ministry of the Environment's "100 Best Clean Swimming Beaches." Because of its gently curved bay formation, the waves are calm, and the scenery of clear water and green hills creates the simple beauty characteristic of a small Sanin fishing village. On the shallow sandy beach, during the summer months, you can see local families enjoying swimming. Tonight's fireworks will be launched from the sea of this bay, so walking along the coastline during daytime will help you understand the topography and serve as a reference for choosing your viewing spot at night.

Fireworks details

Name: 須佐男命夏祭り花火大会

Date & time: 8/5 (Wed) Time TBA

Venue: 萩市須佐・須佐湾

Shells: approx. 4,000

須佐男命夏祭りのフィナーレを飾る花火大会で、須佐湾の穏やかな海上から約4,000発が打ち上がります。三方を丘に囲まれた入り江の地形が音を反響させ、花火の轟音が体に響く迫力は格別です。海面に映り込む光の帯と、頭上に大きく開く花火が重なる瞬間は、海辺の花火大会ならではの美しさ。萩市北部の小さな港町に夏の一夜だけ現れる非日常の光景を、潮の香りと波の音とともに砂浜から体験できます。都市の大規模大会とは違う、地域に根ざした祭りの温かさも須佐ならではの魅力です。

Tips

開催時間は本記事作成時点で未定のため、萩市または主催者の公式発表で事前に確認してください。荒天時の開催可否も公式情報を参照してください。終了後は周辺道路の混雑が予想されるため、花火の余韻を楽しみながら時間をずらして帰宅するのがおすすめです。足元が暗くなるのでライトを準備し、砂浜や段差に注意して移動しましょう。

Tips

A few minutes by car from Susa Hornfels. Simply strolling along the coastal path is enjoyable enough. Summer sun is strong, so bring a hat, sunscreen, and drinking water. If you plan to enter the sandy beach, beach sandals are convenient. From the evening onwards, more spectators arrive, so take your time enjoying the coast during this time slot.
