Kujiranami/Nishi Kujiranami Beach

鯨波海水浴場

On a stretch of coast deemed one of Japan's most scenic, Kujiranami Beach has cafes, shops and inns. This wide beach with rocky outcrops here and there is very popular.
Nishi Kujiranami Beach is on the far side of the Kujiranami Port, stretched out at the bottom of the hill where numerous inns are located. It is more of a secluded cove for those who prefer less company on the seashore to relax.
