About this spot

Irino Beach (入野海水浴場) in Kuroshio Town, Kochi Prefecture, is open in 2026 from Sunday, July 19 to Monday, August 31, with swimming hours from 9:00 to 17:00. It is characterized by a bow-shaped stretch of white sand and a calm, gently shelving sea, and its appeal is the open landscape formed together with the pine grove. Ample parking is provided for 147 standard cars and 5 large vehicles, and with restrooms, changing rooms and showers (100 yen), it is an easy environment for families to prepare in. Swimming is free, and the beach closes in stormy weather or high waves, so checking the sea conditions on the day before setting out is reassuring. From splashing at the water's edge to building sandcastles, savor the Tosa (土佐) sea to the fullest until evening.
