This sandy beach on the Pacific coast, which stretches from Cape Gyobu in eastern Chiba Prefecture to Cape Taito, has attracted many people for its magnificent scenery and historical background.
Let’s take a closer look at the charm of Kujukuri Beach, which is a combination of white sand and green pine trees, myths and anecdotes, and rich nature.
Overview of Kujukuri Beach
Kujukuri Beach is one of Japan’s largest sandy beaches along the Pacific coast, stretching from Cape Gyobu in eastern Chiba Prefecture to Taitosaki.
The entire area is designated as the Chiba Prefectural Kujukuri Nature Park, and its beauty has been selected as one of the “Top 100 White Sands and Green Pine Trees” and the Top 100 Beaches in Japan.
In addition, Kujukuri Beach has historically interesting elements, and is known for the myth with the Tamasaki and Tamasaki Shrines and the anecdote of 99 arrows by Minamoto no Yoritomo.
Geographical and Cultural Importance
Kujukuri Beach is a 66km long sandy beach facing the Pacific Ocean from Cape Gyobu to Cape Taito.
Furthermore, one of Kujukurihama’s characteristics is its relationship with the Kuroshio Current.
The Kuroshio current is an ocean current that moves north along the Japanese archipelago, and part of it leaves Kujukurihama as its border.
This area is also positioned as the northern limit of Kuroshio culture, and the influence of ocean currents also influences local culture.
In addition, the Kuriyama River, which flows through the Kujukuri Plain, is also known as the “salmon return river at the southern limit” and symbolizes the characteristics of the southern tip region.
