Overview

Ushirohama Singing Sand Beach is a quiet and beautiful beach located in Toyoura-machi, Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. Its somewhat secluded location has allowed it to retain the charm of a traditional Japanese landscape. A distinctive feature is the singing sand that emits a 'kyukyu' sound as you walk along the shore.

The beach features a picturesque stretch of sandy shore and pine forest, with gentle waves lapping at the sand. Enjoy swimming in the ocean or simply relaxing on the beach.
