Amaharashi Coast, Coastal area in Toyama Prefecture, Japan
The Amaharashi Coast stretches along Toyama Bay, featuring white sand beaches and pine trees with Tateyama mountains rising to 3000 meters in the background.
In 746 AD, government official Otomo No Yakamochi composed poems about the beach's beauty, which were included in Japan's earliest poetry anthology, Manyoshu.
The Yoshitsune Rock formation contains a shrine that marks the location where the warrior Minamoto no Yoshitsune found shelter during a rainstorm in 1187.
Visitors can access the coast through a five-minute walk from Amaharashi Station on the JR Himi Line or drive fifteen minutes from Noetsu Expressway Takaoka interchange.
The winter season presents clear views of the Onnaiwa Rock formation against snow-covered Tateyama mountains, attracting photographers during sunrise and sunset hours.
