Sightseeing Information
[Chichibugahama Beach] 14 km from La Toile, about 25 min by car

A calm beach about 1km long, where when the wind dies down at low tide and the water ceases to ripple, your photographs will be reminiscent of the Uyuni Salt Flat in Bolivia. The beautiful sunset here was selected as one of Japan's top 100 sunset locations, and it makes for amazing Instagram pictures.
