Umi no Nakamichi, Tombolo in Higashi-ku, Fukuoka, Japan.

This 8-kilometer sand formation connects Kyushu Island to Shikanoshima Island, with the Genkai Sea to the north and Hakata Bay to the south.

Documents from the Nara period mention this location under the name Uchiage no Hama, with artifacts showing fishing and salt production from the 8th century.

The Nata Pine Grove contains Japanese black pines and houses the Shishiki Shrine, representing local natural and spiritual elements.

Four stations along the JR Kashii Line and the Umi no Nakamichi Bridge provide direct access to the area from Fukuoka City.

Sand spits extending into Hakata Bay at Nishidozaki and Karasu no Su reach widths of over 2 kilometers in certain sections.
