One of the best beach locations to go from Kyoto for families as the sea is calm here because it’s a cove surrounded by land and it’s a sandy beach.
Many shops at the beach offering coin showers , rentals and food but they will be closed during off season. A lot of paid parking and also some ryokans for overnight stay. There is also a camp ground.
Came here on sunny October 13 2024. Even though its Autumn. The sun is strong and the water is still relatively warm. (Compared to the October sea in Crete or Santorini) The swim is pleasant with fine sandy sea bed and gentle waves.
I am very surprised to see a few other japanese swimmers in the water in this season. Overall a good experience but they should really clean up the trash on beach
I haven't gone swimming at the beach in ages. Most beaches I've been to in Japan have cold water year-round. However, Wakasa Wada beach offers warm water, making it a great spot for swimming! Plus, the water is shallow and clear!
Beautiful beach with white sand and lots of establishment along the beach. Camping is allowed here. Toilet and coin shower is available. Parking fee of 1,200 is imposed.
Great beach, calm and crystal clear water that you can see the fish, the sand is fine and comfortable to walk with flip flops or even barefoot, I just found the hot shower a little expensive which cost 300 yen for 3 minutes, we went on a Sunday so there were almost no establishments open, just one or two, but there were several closed stores and even a police station that was also closed, I will definitely come back more often, this was the first time we went.
