Next stop: Swim all day at the shallow Hatsu Beach, one of Japan's 100 Best BeachesAbout this spot
A pine forest that continues for about 10 km along the coastline from Hatsu Beach through Okagaki Town to Fukutsu City. Due to its beautiful white sand and green pine scenery, it's also counted as a Ramsar Convention-registered wetland, a nature-rich area. The pine forest spreads right next to the beach and is enjoyed as a shaded walking path before heading to the sandy beach. Walking for a few minutes surrounded by the sea breeze and scent of pine heightens anticipation for the swimming about to begin. Even in summer, the shade of pine trees is cool and suitable for small children's rest.
Tips
It's right next to the parking area of Hatsu Beach and is the perfect distance for a light walk before changing into swimwear. The ground inside the pine forest is sandy with ups and downs, so wear comfortable shoes. Insect repellent spray is recommended.
Best time to visit
Takes about 45 minutes. Around 1 PM is the right flow before entering the sea.
