Yurikehama Beach

The Yurikehama Beach is a white sand beach in Yoronjima Island in Kagoshima Prefecture. This little island is like a magical place out from a magical fantasy book because it only appears for an hour before and after the low tide. What makes this island more magical is the star-shaped grains called “Hoshisuna” on the sand of the said beach. You can

Okinawa

When it comes to beaches, we can’t leave out Okinawa, the subtropical island in Japan. The island itself screams summer due to its geographic location and the number of beaches surrounding the area. The island is famous for its crystal clear waters and white sands. It is also a favorite spot for snorkeling and scuba diving. On the main island of Okinawa, there are a lot of popular beaches like Manza Beach. Emerald Beach, Okuma Beach, and Sesoko Beach, to name a few. There are also a lot of beaches outside the main island like Furuzamami Beach on Zamami Island and Yonahamaehama Beach in Miyakojima. You don’t have to worry about the beach being full during summer because Okinawa has 100 beaches to choose from.

Hyogo Prefecture

Takeno Coast, Amore Beach, and Keino Matsubara Beach are some of the popular public beaches to go in Hyogo Prefecture. But aside from the numerous beaches that the prefecture has, one of the tourists’ favorite places to visit during summer is Awaji Island where you can see the breathtaking ‘sea fireflies’ at night. These ‘sea fireflies’ are actually bioluminescent shrimps that light up when they are ashore. The blue lights look so magical and will surely make your summer memorable.

Ogasawara Islands

In the southern part of Tokyo, you can find the Ogasawara Islands, an archipelago with over 30 tropical and subtropical islands. The water surrounding the archipelago is like a clear blue lagoon beach, you wouldn’t really think you’re still in Japan. Among the places in this list, this is the farthest to reach from Tokyo as it takes 24 hours by boat, which is the only transportation, to get to the island. These islands have been totally isolated from Japan since then, which led to the development of many sea creatures and endemic species, thus often dubbed as the “Galapagos of the Orient”. This group of islands is so special that it was added to UNESCO’s list of World Natural Heritage sites in 2011.
