* Hakoishi Beach (Hakoishi hama), about 25 or 30 minutes away from the apartment, is a long stretch of white sandy beach, perfect for camping and bonfires. However, much of the beach is quite littered, so you'd probably have to get a group together to clean up the area at which you want to sunbathe or camp out.
* Every August, a group of Japanese friends and I (and only a couple other JETs) have a big beach camp/barbecue gathering. It's a lot of fun, and it includes fun stuff like jetskiing, a beach volleyball tournament, fireworks, bonfire, diving for shellfish, and of course, splashing around in the water.
* Kumihama is also home to Kabutoyama Park, a camp grounds on a hill with a really nice view of the water. I recommend checking it out too! |
