Japan's Only Sandy Beach Drive Way Where You Can Drive
About this spot
Japan's only drive way, approximately 8 kilometers long, where private vehicles can drive directly on the sandy beach. Because the fine sand is compacted hard, driving is possible, and the experience of driving along the waterline with a view of the Japan Sea horizon is sure to become an unforgettable memory of your family trip. As the sun moves toward the horizon, the colors of the sky change beautifully, making it perfect for an open moment before heading to the festival venue.
