Kiwa-la-Beach in Ube City is a beautiful beach with shallow waters where Japan's largest vast tidal flats appear at low tide. Especially on days when conditions are right, the sky reflects on the still water surface like a mirror, drawing great attention on SNS for its fantastical sights similar to Salar de Uyuni in South America. The time spent listening to the gentle waves of the Seto Inland Sea while walking on the endless peaceful sand ripples makes you completely forget the city hustle. It's crowded with families enjoying swimming and clam digging in summer, and you can enjoy beautiful sunsets throughout the four seasons at one of Yamaguchi Prefecture's most liberating relaxation spots.
