Located at the western end of Maizuru City, the Kanzaki area is a hideaway spot charming for its beautiful sandy beach at the mouth of the Yura River and its nostalgic fishing village scenery. Kanzaki Beach, in particular, is crowded with families in summer for its shallow, highly transparent sea. Nearby is the "Yura-gawa Bridge" of the Tango Railway, attracting attention from international railway fans as one of Japan's best photo spots where trains run just above the water surface. Perfect for those who want to hear quiet wave sounds and thoroughly enjoy Japan's peaceful seaside daily life away from city noise.
