What is Chichibugahama Beach?

Chichibugahama is a kilometer-long beach in Mitoyo, Kagawa.
For years it has been a popular beach spot for swimmers.
When low tide and the sunset coincide,
anyone can take beautiful reflective photos,
like those from Bolivia's salt flats.

  • Elected Japan's best
    sunset spot.
  • Popular on social media!
    More and more visitors since 2017.
  • Chichibugahama Beach at low tide.
  • Sea and sky meld together
    into a world of imagination.
