Encounter the unique idea of a museum without walls
About this spot
A unique initiative begun in 1989 under the concept of treating the Pacific horizon as a picture frame and this entire coast as a museum. Rather than paintings lined up inside a building, the idea that the sand and the pine grove themselves are the exhibition space is fascinating, and it is a spot where you can walk and talk with your children about what a museum really is. The indoor facilities also introduce local initiatives and past activities. Stopping by before your swim heightens anticipation for the seaside time ahead.

料金は無料でシャワーのみ有料100円です。夏の砂浜は熱いのでビーチサンダルが必携。荒天・高波時はクローズになるため、事前に天候を確認してから出かけましょう。遊泳時間は17時までなので、着替えの時間を見込んで15分前には切り上げるのがおすすめです。
Tips
It is very close to Irino Beach (入野海水浴場), and you can walk back and forth along the paths through the pine grove. Viewing is mainly outdoors, so do not forget a hat and hydration as protection against the summer sun.
