Awase Tidal Flat, Coastal mudflat in Okinawa, Japan.

The Awase Tidal Flat extends along Nakagusuku Bay, creating an intertidal zone where numerous marine species establish their natural habitat.

Local fishermen have utilized this coastal area since ancient times, extracting resources from the rich marine environment for their sustenance.

The mudflat integrates into daily life as residents participate in traditional shellfish gathering activities during low tide periods.

Visitors should check tide tables before planning their exploration, as the mudflat becomes accessible only during low tide periods.

The site functions as a natural water filtration system, processing urban runoff while supporting over fifty percent of specific migratory bird populations.
