Kotohiki Beach

3 minutes on foot from Minshuku Oe to Kotohiki Beach,
famous for its nakisuna (singing sand)

National Natural Monument. Beautiful beach selected as one of Japan’s Top 100 Beaches. Kotohiki Beach is a 1.8 km long beach on the Japan Sea coast in the north of Kyoto Prefecture and its sand “sings” for almost its entire length. When you kick the soles of your feet along the top of the sand as you walk it makes a “kyu-kyu” sound. Singing sand is produced by the washing action of clean sea water. If the sea water is not clean, the sand does not sing. The nakisuna (singing sand) is proof that the sea as well as the beach are clean. Enjoy swimming, playing games, or going for a walk.

Guests must clean off after the beach and remove any sand before entering the minshuku. Use the shower facilities provided for guests outside the entrance to the minshuku.
