What other travelers are saying about Katsurahama Beach
I love the breeze and the quite blow of the sea wind. The touch of the sand is so soft you'll find your feet immersed into it. The vast area of the beach is so inviting but I think swimming is not allowed. In the area, there is the Katsurahama Aquarium and the the Ryuo Cape. You will find the Sakamoto Ryoma Statue on your way to the the beach. Plenty of interesting views and landmarks you would want to experience. Highly recommended!
Easy to get to and from the beach by bus about 1 and hour. Costing ¥800 from the station. Bus number S3 from the station or on route . A pleasant little place but I was expecting to go for a swim but swimming is not aloud. There are walks around and some history plus some souvenir shops and restaurants.
Not worth a visit if you come from a beach culture country. Traveling one hour for this, no way! They just refurbished the whole area, so I understand the local government must be pushing this as a destination. It's well done, with nice pine trees and jutting headland, but it's a tiny postage stamp version of a French Riviera beach...where the sand is too coarse and you can't swim
