8. Nakatajima Sand Dunes
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 220 reviews
The Nakatajima sand dunes, which extends 4km east to west and 600m north to south, is one of the three major sand dunes in Japan. The “Fumon (Sand dune crests)” was created by the strong winds blowing from the Enshu Nada and the endless soft curves are truly art. The Pacific Ocean spreads over the sand dunes and the setting sun on the horizon is very stunning. The beach is also famous for loggerhead turtles landing every spring and summer to lay eggs.
