Hamasaka Kenmin Sun Beach, Public beach in Shin'onsen, Japan
Hamasaka Kenmin Sun Beach is a public beach in Shin'onsen along the coast of Hyogo Prefecture, where white sand meets the waters of the Sea of Japan. Behind it, pine forests stretch along the shoreline and provide natural protection to the coastal area.
The pine forests were planted long ago to shield the coastline from erosion caused by storms and sea action. This natural barrier has proven effective and remains an important part of the coastal landscape today.
The beach serves as a gathering place for both visitors and residents during warmer months, especially when local events feature fireworks and dance performances. The pine forests behind it shape the setting and create a backdrop for these social occasions.
The beach offers changing facilities, parking areas, and rental equipment for water activities, mainly available during the warmer months. It helps to arrive early or visit outside peak season to avoid large crowds.
The beach lies within the San'in Kaigan Geopark and displays rock formations that reveal movements of tectonic plates. Visitors can observe these geological features directly in the rocks and structure of the shoreline.
