End your trip with a fantastic sunset

A couple watching the sunset at Shibukawa Beach

The white sand beach and green pine trees that characterize the Seto Inland Sea are one of the best swimming beaches in western Japan, and are crowded with many visitors from within the prefecture and beyond. We recommend taking a leisurely stroll along the well-maintained promenade and watching the fantastic sunset.
