Shichirimi Beach, Historic beach in Mie Prefecture, Japan
Shichiri Mihama extends for 22 kilometers along the Pacific coast, featuring black stones polished by the Kuroshio current and waves.
The beach served as a pilgrimage route known as Hamakaido, leading to the Three Grand Shrines of Kumano during the medieval period.
Local residents collect colorful pebbles called Mihama Koishi from the beach, transforming them into jewelry and decorative items.
Visitors can reach the beach within 5 minutes by foot from JR Kumano City Station or drive from Kumano Otomari Interchange.
The beach functions as a nesting ground for loggerhead sea turtles, which return annually to lay their eggs on the shoreline.
