Mihama, Coastal town in Chita Peninsula, Japan
Mihama is a coastal town on the Chita Peninsula that stretches between two major bays with numerous beaches and port facilities along its shoreline. The town offers access to various swimming areas and maritime infrastructure that shape life here.
The town formed in 1955 when two villages merged, then expanded a few years later when parts of another community joined. These unions created the town that exists today.
The Sugimoto Art Museum displays collections of Japanese paintings and artifacts, representing the artistic heritage of the Chita Peninsula region.
The town connects to major cities by rail through multiple stations, and bus services link to the port area. Most beaches are easy to reach and accessible by public transport.
A lighthouse at the southern tip of the peninsula marks the key navigation point for ships in the region. The structure is a distinctive landmark of the harbor landscape and stands as an orientation point for visitors.
