Hyogo Prefecture boasts one of the largest areas in western Japan, measuring approximately 8400 square meters.In addition to facing the Sea of Japan to the north and the Seto Inland Sea to the south, there are many ocean view spots such as the port of Kobe and Awaji Island, which is surrounded by the sea.
Here are three recommended ocean view spots.
When you think of Hyogo Prefecture, many people probably think of Meriken Park.Kobe has continued to prosper as a port town for 150 years since its opening.
There are many photo spots such as the landmark Port Tower and the "BE KOBE" monument, and it is crowded with tourists on holidays.We also recommend taking a sea cruise, taking in the ocean view from the Ferris wheel, and enjoying the night view of Kobe.
Keino Matsubara Beach is located on the west side of Awaji Island and is a scenic spot that has been designated as one of Japan's ``2.5 Best Beaches'' and ``5 Best Beaches.''Approximately XNUMX Awaji black pines have been planted on the beautiful sandy beach that is approximately XNUMXkm long.It is also famous as a sunset spot where you can see the beautiful sunset over the Harima Sea.
The promenade leading to the beach is lined with Awaji tiles engraved with the words vowing ``love without tile'', making it popular among couples as the ``proposal road.''
Takenohama Beach, located on the Sea of Japan side, is a famous spot for its emerald green sea, which boasts one of the clearest waters in Kansai.In summer, you can enjoy a variety of activities such as swimming, diving, canoeing, and fishing.
Around the coast, there is an elegant townscape with buildings covered with roasted cedar boards to protect them from the sea breeze and sand.We also recommend cycling on a rental bicycle while feeling the refreshing sea breeze.
When you think of Kyoto, you often think of historical buildings such as Kiyomizu-dera and Kinkaku-ji.
But did you know that there are many attractive ocean view spots in the northern area of Kyoto?
Let's take a look at recommended spots for those who want to take a leisurely stroll along the "Kyoto Sea."
Amanohashidate is a famous tourist spot as one of Japan's three most scenic spots.The 3.6 km long sandbar (sand deposited topography created by ocean currents) that separates Miyazu Bay in Miyazu City, Kyoto Prefecture from the Aso Sea in the inland sea from north to south has a very mysterious shape.
If you look through your legs from Amanohashidate View Land, you can see Amanohashidate looking like a bridge spanning the sky or a dragon soaring into the sky, so be sure to give it a try when sightseeing.We also recommend taking a walk in the air at the Hiryukan Corridor in the park and admiring the ocean view.
A boathouse was built to protect a boat salvaged from the sea from rain, wind, and insects.Approximately 230 boathouses line the coast of Ine Bay, making it look as if the houses are floating on the sea.
You can enjoy the seascape in a variety of ways, such as relaxing at a cafe or restaurant that is a renovated boathouse, overlooking the boathouse from the observation deck of a roadside station on a hill, or taking in the view from the sea by sea taxi or sea kayak. Masu.
Cape Kyogami is located at the northernmost tip of the Kinki region.Located 140m above sea level is the Kyogamisaki Lighthouse, one of Japan's three major lighthouses.The beauty of the contrast between the blue sky, sea, and white lighthouse captivates visitors.
In 2018, it was certified as a ``Lighthouse in Love,'' which is considered a sacred place for romance, and it has become a popular ocean view spot for couples.
Wakayama is famous for its white sandy beaches and highly transparent sea.In addition, Wakayama's warm climate makes you feel like you are in a tropical country♪ It will make you forget the hustle and bustle of the city.
It is also easily accessible from the city, about an hour by train or car from Osaka, and about an hour by plane from Tokyo.We will introduce some particularly recommended ocean view spots in Wakayama.
Shirarahama Beach is visited by approximately 60 people every year.The approximately 620m long arch-shaped sandy beach and the palm leaf parasols lining the beach are reminiscent of beaches overseas.
This is a popular spot among women as it is said to be a place where you can take great photos.When the sun sets, you can enjoy the seascape dyed bright red by the setting sun.
Cape Shiono is the southernmost tip of Honshu. From the observation deck of the Shionomisaki Tourist Tower, you can see the gently curving horizon and experience the roundness of the earth.
Nearby is the Shionomisaki Lighthouse, which is famous for being a "climbable lighthouse," and you can see the Pacific Ocean from the top of the lighthouse.When you visit Cape Shionomisaki, you can get a ``Certificate of Visit to the Southernmost Point of Honshu,'' so it's a good idea to keep it as a souvenir of your visit.
The roadside station "Shirasaki Marine Park" is a tourist facility that also has an auto campground and a diving site.
As you proceed to the observatory in the park, you will be transported to a different world that is hard to believe that you are in Japan.
Gazing at the contrast between the iceberg-like white limestone and the blue sea, you'll feel like you've stepped into the Aegean Sea.This is a place where ancient fossils are still being discovered, so why not take a walk and look for fossils among the limestone?
It's nice to go sightseeing at ocean view spots, but wouldn't you like to spend your time looking out at the ocean without being disturbed?With glamping, you can enjoy the ocean in luxury in a private space.
Glamping allows you to enjoy the ocean freely, such as glamping BBQ where you can enjoy local seafood, marine activities that will help you forget your daily routine, and hot springs in the guest room while admiring the seascape.

Awaji Island is one of the leading resort areas in Kansai.Grand Mare Awaji, located at the gateway to Awaji Island, is a luxurious glamping facility with only 2700 buildings on a spacious seaside location of approximately 5 square meters, allowing you to feel like you have the sea of Awaji all to yourself.
All rooms have an ocean view, and you can enjoy the sea view of Awaji Island from the private garden and guest room hot spring.There is also a fire pit, so we recommend enjoying a bonfire after sunset while enjoying the sea breeze.
Also, 20 minutes by car from Grand Mare Awaji is Kansai's largest marine facility, SEA MOON RESORT, so you can get your body moving with popular marine activities such as paddle boards, sea kayaks, and banana boats. .If you want to enjoy the ocean view on Awaji Island, choose "Grand Mare Awaji"♪

After playing in the activities, let's soothe in the ``Kin Onsen'', a murky hot spring that is rare in Japan and is fully equipped in all rooms.For those who want to fully enjoy the sea of Amanohashidate and Miyazu, we recommend Aqua Village Kyoto Amanohashidate.
"Shio Sai Terrace" is located in the Shirahama area of Wakayama Prefecture.From the 10 large dome tents located on a hill, you can see the beautiful white sea.
The BBQ, which is the best part of glamping, uses fresh seafood from Wakayama, so you can enjoy the sea of Wakayama not only with your eyes but also with your mouth.You can try horseback riding at the Fureai Plaza inside the facility, so why not try your hand at horseback riding while feeling the pleasant sea breeze?
