"Mikisato Beach" in Owase City is a beautiful coast with white sands and green pines surrounded by the steep mountains of the Kii Peninsula. The white sandy beach stretching for about 1 kilometer and the calm sea with high transparency create an atmosphere like a hidden paradise. While crowded with people enjoying camping and swimming in summer, you can enjoy a quiet walk while gazing at the horizon during the off-season. The contrast between the deep green mountains soaring behind and the blue sea is beautiful, making it a popular spot for nature-loving travelers who can capture the diversity of Japan's rich nature in a single photograph.
