Breathtaking Seascape at Takahama Beach
Day 1
Ranked among the top 100 beaches in Japan for both beauty and swimming, Takahama Beach is a gorgeous site on the west coast of Fukue. Because of its distance from the city center, about 45 minutes by car, it is rarely crowded, and social distancing should be easy here most days of the year. The water remains shallow far away from the shore, making it a safe beach for children or non-swimmers to play in. Full facilities, including bathrooms and showers, are available during the peak summer season. Be sure to stop at the Gyoran Kannon Observation Point, where a large Buddhist statue overlooks one of the best views of Takahama Beach from the cliffs.
