Koiji Beach, White sand beach in Tahara, Japan
The beach stretches for one kilometer along the Pacific Ocean, featuring pure white sand and clear waters bordered by a coastal promenade.
The beach name originates from an Edo period legend about noble individuals who found refuge here after fleeing from a forbidden relationship.
The location inspired Toson Shimazaki's famous poem about a coconut drifting from distant shores, becoming a symbol of connection and romance.
Two free parking areas accommodate visitors, with restrooms, wheelchair access, and multiple dining establishments serving local specialties near the shore.
The beach holds four distinguished titles in Japan's top 100 selections: for its white pine trees, paths, sound landscapes, and shoreline features.
