Swimming until evening on a beach with Mt. Chōkai in view

About this spot

A beach in Kikudzuka Town, Nikaho City, operating from July 18 (Sat) through August 16 (Sun), 2026, with swimming hours from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. An open sandy beach backed by Mt. Chōkai stretches before you, and the gentle waves of the Sea of Japan make it ideal for small children's water play. The season operates for less than a month in the first half of summer vacation, making this a rare opportunity. Swimming in the sea after experiencing Kikudzuka's history and nature at Kyujukushima and Kaikokuji Temple will surely create unforgettable memories. Enjoy everything from water play at the shoreline to sand play until closing at 4 p.m.
