About this spot
At the coast where Bangami Beach and Nishi-Bangami Beach adjoin in Kashiwazaki City, in 2026 the beaches will be open from July 5 (Sunday) to August 16 (Sunday), with swimming hours from 9 AM to 4 PM. Lifeguards are stationed only on designated dates from July 11 (Saturday) to August 16 (Sunday), so confirm these dates in advance for peace of mind. Six beach snack bars line the shore; changing rooms and showers can be used when patronizing a snack bar, and Nishi-Bangami has one fixed shower facility. Public restrooms are permanently available at one location. On the calm sandy beach, from shallow water play to sand play, you can enjoy yourself abundantly until late afternoon.

Changing rooms and showers require patronizing a snack bar, so decide on your restaurant beforehand for smooth operations. With only one restroom, it's wise to use it early during busy times.

Best time to visit
Late afternoon from 1 PM onward offers stable sunlight and allows for extended enjoyment until the 4 PM closing time
