Season & hours

Tips

Parking costs 500 yen per day. Swimming ends at 5 PM, so plan to wrap up around 15 minutes before to allow changing time. Summer sand gets very hot, so beach sandals are essential. Beach huts offer food and rest but can get crowded during peak hours, so early use is recommended.

Best time to visit

From early afternoon onwards, there's plenty of sunlight for enjoying until evening
