Known for its beautiful coastline, Oarai Sun Beach is also known as Japan's first "universal beach," with dedicated parking, changing rooms, and toilets that are accessible by wheelchair users.
The sea is shallow, and depending on the time of day, you can see a fantastic sight as the scenery is reflected on the water's surface.
Ubara Beach in Katsuura City, Chiba Prefecture, is a beach that has been selected as one of the "100 Best Beaches in Japan."

About a five-minute drive from Ubara Beach, there is an island called Oshima off the coast of Moriya Beach, where there is a red torii gate. This is also a popular photo spot, so if you want to see the beautiful seascapes of Japan, be sure to visit this place as well.
