It is a very large coin-shaped monument molded directly out of the white sand of Ariake Beach. From the car park area of the Ariake Beach, you can walk to the reach the viewing point. For us, it was a 10 mins walk and be prepared to climb staircases. When you meet an open space with tarred-road, there’s a ‘forest route’ on the left, follow this way and continue walking for about 3 mins to reach at the viewing point. It is said that for viewers who lay eyes on the massive coin-shaped sand monument, they will be blessed with longevity and healthy life and prosperity. It is learned that the sand art is curated and surrounded by the pine trees which could be used as a barrier for resistant to wind and rain, and the maintenance of the sand-art is performed two times in a year.

観音寺市における最も注目すべき観光スポットである。琴弾公園の松林に突如として出現したかのような『寛永通宝』の砂絵は、訪れる人全ての目を見張ることだろう。 1633年、将軍である徳川家光の巡遣使を歓迎するため、地元の有志によって一夜のうちに作られたとされる。現在は地元のボランティアによって定期的に整備されている、という。 この砂絵を見るには、間近まで近づくか、展望台から見下ろすかのどちらかになる。砂絵の周回部分にまで近づくことはできるが、砂絵の中には立ち入ることが出来ない。近くで見ると、巨大な砂の盛り上がりが眼前に広がる程度で、事前に情報を仕入れない限りそれが何かを理解するのは難しいだろう。一方で展望台から見下ろすことで、砂絵の全体像を見ることが出来る。 環境保全のため、砂絵の周囲には飲食店などは存在しない。飲食物の持ち込みは特に禁止されていないようだが、ゴミ箱等も周囲には設置されていないので、ゴミは持ち帰るか近隣のゴミ箱に捨てる必要がある。 It's the most famous tourist attraction in Kannonji City. The "Kan'ei Tsuho" sand paintings that seem to have suddenly appeared in the pine forests of Kotodama Park are a sight to behold for all visitors. It's said to have been created overnight by local volunteers in 1633 to welcome the envoy of Shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu. Today, it's regularly maintained by local volunteers. To see the sand paintings, visitors can either get up close to them or look down from the observatory. Visitors can approach the perimeter of the sand paintings, but are not allowed to enter them. When you see it up close, you can only see a huge heap of sand spread out before your eyes, and it would be difficult to understand what it is unless you have information about it beforehand. On the other hand, looking down from the observatory, one can see the whole picture of the sand painting. For environmental preservation, there are no restaurants or stores around the sand paintings. It seems that bringing in food and drink is not prohibited, but there are no garbage cans around the area, so you need to take your garbage home with you or throw it in a nearby garbage can.

Nothing that special, but it has a significant value for the local people and history. Apparently, the sand is also refurbished every so often to maintain the way it looks. The real shape of the sand sculpture is intentional made slightly disfigured so that when people see it at an angle from the lookout point, they still see a perfect circle.

This place is a hidden gem… I went there around sunset time expecting the view would be more spectacular. The view was majestic, meeting my expectation… In order to see the coin shape, u need to go up to an observatory place nearby. The road on the way to there has lots of curves, and it’s narrow a bit, so drive safely :-)

Visited at night. There's an observatory that overlooks the coin and the town nearby, which is a 5minutes drive up a narrow road. Pretty nice place to stop by along the way if you pass by by car, but not sure if it's worth your time if you're taking public transport as there isn't anything else other than the coin.
