Experience Shimoda's history at the site where the Treaty of Kanagawa-Shimoda was concluded
About this spot
A venerable temple where the Treaty of Kanagawa-Shimoda was concluded in 1854, with a treasure museum on the grounds displaying artifacts from the time of Japan's opening to foreign trade. The tree-lined approach path provides shade even in summer, making it easy to walk. The Perry Road leading from the temple gate features historic stone-paved paths and buildings associated with Commodore Perry's arrival, perfect for exploring history. Learning a bit about Shimoda's history before swimming adds depth to the day's journey.
Season & hours
Name: 白浜大浜海水浴場
Date & time: 7/18 (Sat)–8/31 (Mon) 8:00–16:00
Venue: 下田市・白浜大浜海水浴場
下田市を代表するビーチで、2026年は7月18日(土)から8月31日(月)まで開設。営業時間は8時から16時までです。約800mにわたる真っ白な砂浜と、遠浅で透明度の高い青い海が広がり、伊豆有数の美しさを誇る海水浴場として知られています。更衣室やシャワー、海の家もそろっているので、着替えや軽食に困らず1日を過ごせるのも家族連れにうれしいポイント。駐車場は約300台分用意されています。波打ち際での水遊びから沖での遊泳まで、閉場の16時まで思いきり夏を満喫しましょう。
Tips
遊泳は無料ですが、周辺駐車場は1日1,000円から2,000円程度かかります。夏の砂浜は日中とても熱くなるので、ビーチサンダルは必携です。営業終了は16時のため、着替えの時間を見込んで15時45分ごろには海から上がるのがおすすめ。混雑する週末は午前中に到着しておくと駐車場を確保しやすくなります。
Tips
About 10 minutes walk from Shimoda Station. While the temple grounds are quiet and easy to visit, there is an admission fee for the treasure museum. After visiting, you can head back toward Shimoda Station along Perry Road while taking lunch, making the afternoon schedule smooth.
Best time to visit
Takes about 45 minutes. Morning hours have fewer tourists, allowing for leisurely sightseeing.
