Cross the Akune Bridge and leisurely stroll along the coastal area
About this spot
The Akune Bridge, which connects the Akune city area and the Oshima district, is a scenic driving spot where you can see the East China Sea from atop the bridge. Beyond the bridge lies Wakimoto Beach, characterized by shallow, calm sandy shores that become lively with swimmers in summer. Taking a stroll along the sandy beach while feeling the sea breeze will heighten your anticipation for tonight's fireworks. Spend a leisurely afternoon enjoying the beauty of the seascape.
