Jōdogahama, Protected coastal area in Miyako, Japan.
White pebbled beach stretches along clear waters, surrounded by sharp rock formations and green pine trees at the edge of Sanriku Fukko National Park.
A Buddhist monk named Reikyo observed the coastal landscape between 1681 and 1683, naming it Jodogahama after its resemblance to Buddhist Paradise.
The beach holds special recognition as part of Japan's top 100 beaches, swimming locations, and natural landscapes, representing Japanese appreciation for natural beauty.
Visitors can reach the beach via a regular bus service from Miyako Station to the visitor center, followed by a 15-minute walk or shuttle bus ride.
The Blue Cave Cruise takes visitors through rocky islands to explore a cavern filled with dark blue water similar to the Mediterranean caves.
