琴林公園

Kinrin Park spans 9.3 hectares along the coast, featuring extensive pine groves and a white sand beach stretching for 1000 meters.

The park originated in the Muromachi period when monks from Jourakuji Temple planted pine trees as a windbreak for the local area.

The name Kinrin derives from the sound of wind passing through pine trees, resembling the notes of traditional Japanese string instruments.

The park includes a swimming beach open from early July to late August, with facilities accommodating over 90,000 visitors each summer season.

The location serves as a filming site for Japanese cinema productions, including notable films like 'Musume Junrei Nagare no Hana'.
