"Shika Beach" is a hidden beach with beautiful sea and less crowds! Introducing an extraordinary space surrounded by nature.

Atashika Beach is one of the most shallow and clear beaches in Japan with a wide stretch of white sand.
Mie Prefecture, known for its many World Heritage sites such as the Kumano Kodo, is located in Atashika-cho, KumanoCity atashikacho

The vast sandbar facing Atashika Bay on the ria coastline is used as a beach, and is one of the largest beaches in the Tokai region.

Atashika Beach has such a beautiful sea and sandy beach that you will forget that you are in Honshu, but there are relatively few people even during the peak season in July and August, and it is spacious with a total length of about 1200 meters, so you can relax. You can enjoy swimming in the sea.
It can be said to be a hidden gem.

The water quality is ranked AA, the highest of any swimming area in Mie Prefecture.

You can clearly see through your toes.

It has been selected as one of the ``100 Best Bathing Beaches'' and ``88 Best Bathing Beaches in Japan.''

The fine, smooth sand is as clean as the beaches of Okinawa.
The beach is kept clean by local people's cleaning efforts.

Since it has not been touched by humans like a resort area, you can enjoy the natural scenery of the countryside and the sea to the fullest.

Additionally, the coastline is cove-shaped, so the waves are calm.

During the swimming season in July and August, fishing is prohibited on the beach, so you can play with your children safely.

With the ocean in front of you and a river flowing into the back right hand corner, it is a rare place where you can enjoy both river play and sea play at the same time.

The beaches closer to the river are shallower, so if you are bringing children, we recommend beaches closer to the river.

There was no place to rest on the riverside beach, so there was a beach hut built by local volunteers to provide a place where they could rest in the shade.

You can enjoy light meals, shaved ice, beer, etc.

The handmade wooden tables and benches are perfect for resting your tired body after playing in the sea while feeling the cool sea breeze flowing in the shade.

It was so cool that I could feel the difference between inside and outside the beach house by about 2-3 degrees.

Changing rooms and showers are also available.

At Atashika Beach, local people take turns monitoring the beach, and in emergencies they work with the fishing association to prevent water accidents.

Additionally, every August, we hold evacuation drills with beachgoers to prepare for emergencies such as earthquakes, so you can enjoy your time with peace of mind.

The local Atashika Tourism Association is located right next to the beach.

There are also showers, changing rooms, toilets, and a parking lot where the Atashika Tourism Association is located.

This is "Sakamoto Shokudo" located in front of the Atashika Tourism Association.

You can enjoy set meals such as grilled fish set using locally caught fish, light meals such as yakisoba and udon, and more than 20 types of shaved ice.

Although there is a fee, you can pitch a tent anywhere on the coast and enjoy camping. No application is required.

Barbecue is also OK. You can also enjoy fireworks until 10pm.

There are no obstructions, so you can see the starry sky at night. What a luxury it is to look at the starry sky with the sound of the waves in the background.

In addition, local people cooperate to hold events such as the beach volleyball tournament, which is attended by professional players every summer, and the sea kayaking tournament, which is attended by many players from all over the country in October. It's bustling with people.

Furthermore, speaking of Kumano, the ``Kumano Grand Fireworks Festival'' held on August 17th every year is famous, but at Atashika Beach, the ``Atashika Sightseeing Memorial Fireworks Festival'', which will be held for the 34th time this year, is held on August 15th every year. It will be held on the day.
The launch starts at 8:20 p.m. You can also enjoy the beer garden and food stalls from around 3pm.

There are a total of four parking lots around AtashikaBeach, including the municipal parking lots. Parking is available for 100 cars.

The beach is also easily accessible by public transportation, as it is a 10-minute walk from JR Atashika Station.
(JR Shinshika Station is about 4 hours from Nagoya Station)

Finally, Mr. Horigo, chairman of the Atashika Tourism Association, gave a greeting.

Blue skies, green mountains, clear streams, and beautiful sandy beaches surrounded by nature
We hope that you will refresh your body and mind with a wonderful beach time while feeling the sounds of wind and water and the scent of soil and trees that we have forgotten, and create wonderful memories that will give you vitality for tomorrow. I think.

There are many sightseeing spots in nearby towns, such as the Kumano Kodo and Atashika, which are registered as World Heritage Sites, and Oukamizaka Pass on Nikijima.

The local people of Kumano and nature are preparing and waiting to warmly welcome you.

Please come and visit AtashikaBeach the locals boast as the best in Japan!
