Parks/Nature

This scenic spot, located on the northern side of Ibaraki, features two inlets nestled between steep sea cliffs.

The beach is one of the "100 Best Seaside Spots in Japan" and is also known as an excellent location for viewing the sunrise. On clear nights, it is ideal for stargazing, as it is far from urban areas.
While swimming is not allowed, the beach is home to small crabs and sea anemones, making it perfect for exploring the tide pools in the summer.

As Takadokohama Beach is popular with tourists and photographers, visiting on weekdays is recommended.
