Famous Beaches in Japan Japan consists of countless beaches and known as an Island country surrounded by water from the Northern seas of Hokkaido, to the lakes and rivers of the Kansai region, down to the tropical paradise of Okinawa, Japan’s beaches are gorgeous and diverse. Most beaches don’t have very strict rules, but there are a few customs to be aware of if you’re heading to Japan in summer.
Japan takes its beach season very seriously. One of the nation’s national holidays is Umi no hi, or “Sea Day,” every third Monday of July that marks umibiraki, the official start of the season. Most public institutions are closed on this day, so much of the population flocks to the nearest seashore to swim, sunbathe, and party. From this date until around late August, every beach in Japan is packed on an almost daily basis.
During this season, most beaches have spaces where visitors can buy food, use changing rooms or showers, and possibly rent or purchase swim gear. Most beaches have plenty of clean public restrooms available, but these can get crowded and messy on busy days.
If you want to beat the crowds, go during the off-season. The food stalls might not be open and you might have to watch out for jellyfish, but if you plan it right this could be the most relaxing way to enjoy the sand and waves.
