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.
This phenomenon is caused by the fine, white quartz sand, offering a truly authentic Japanese experience.
This is the perfect place for those seeking tranquility and a connection with nature, away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
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.
While bustling with beachgoers in summer, it maintains a peaceful and calm atmosphere during the off-season.
The sunsets are stunning, creating a romantic ambiance.
Camping grounds and beach facilities are also available nearby, making it perfect for families.
Visit Ushirohama Singing Sand Beach and experience the healing power of tranquility and nature.
