Masuichi-hama

Masuichi-hama extends along the Hokkaido coastline with natural rock formations, including distinctive shapes like Candle-rock and Gull-rock near the water's edge.

The beach's development parallels Muroran's evolution as a port city, where industrial growth in shipbuilding and steel manufacturing shaped the regional economy.

Local residents gather at Masuichi-hama throughout the year to participate in traditional Japanese beach festivals and celebrate marine-based customs.

Visitors can reach the beach by taking a 15-minute walk from Donan bus Masuichi-dori stop or driving 15 minutes from JR Muroran station.

Natural rock formations at Masuichi-hama include an elephant-shaped stone structure positioned between coastal cliffs, creating a distinct geological landmark.
