About this spot

Sanore Sohadema Seawater Bathing Beach in Minamisanriku Town will be open from July 18 (Saturday) through August 30 (Sunday) in 2026, with swimming hours from 9:30 AM to 4 PM. The gently sloping sandy beach with calm waves is equipped with a management building, shower facilities, and restrooms, plus about 400 free parking spaces, making it attractive because families with small children experience minimal burden with transportation and changing. Swimming is free, with only food and merchandise at the beach houses requiring a separate fee. From shallow water play to sandcastle building, you can fully enjoy summer until the 4 PM closing time—Minamisanriku's signature beach.

Season & hours

Tips

About 400 free parking spaces are available, but early arrival is recommended during summer weekend holidays. Summer sand is hot, so beach sandals are essential. Swimming ends at 4 PM, so plan to finish about 15 minutes early to allow time for changing. Having cash on hand is convenient for using the beach houses.

Best time to visit

From 1 PM onward, the afternoon sun is gentler, and you can swim freely until the 4 PM closing time.
