Katsurahama Beach

It's a beautiful place with vast and sandy beach. Although we cannot swim here, but the ocean view and bountiful waves is beautiful. There are many souvenir shops and local snack shops that offer wider variety than the city center's (obiyamachi's) local snack shop. The shop owner gives a lot of tester (basically almost every snack has the tester) so do not worry, you can taste everything before buying the things that suit your taste bud the most. There's also an old but still a favorite aquarium to see sea creatures, the highest statue in Japan with the figure of Sakamoto Ryoma, a famous hero of Japan. There are also many events here such as whale watching so make sure to check and mark the calendar before you come! There's a tourist center so you can take the pamphlet and explore the beach in case you don't prepare anything beforehand.
