Shimoaso Beach

Renowned as Kyushu's No. 1 white sand beach, perfect for families

"I didn't know Kyushu had such a beautiful sandy beach!" - This is the kind of beach resort with exceptionally clear water that everyone who visits exclaims. The gentle waves and endless stretches of pure white sand create an open-air vacation just like a tropical resort.

The beauty of this beach is endorsed by the Ministry of the Environment. Its quality is evidenced by its selection as the only beach in Kyushu to receive a "Special Selection" in the "Top 100 Beaches," a ranking that evaluates water quality and scenery. Shimaura Island, floating in front of the beach, acts as a natural breakwater, ensuring calm waves. Even small children can enjoy splashing around in the water without worry. Even better, there's a river pool right next to the beach. Even children who are a little scared of the ocean can splash around in the safe pool. This is the ideal family beach, where everyone can find their own way to enjoy themselves. Another great attraction is the option to stay overnight in the on-site cabins after a day of fun. The warmth of the wood creates a cozy atmosphere, reminiscent of a vacation home. Gazing up at the starry sky at night and drifting off to the sound of the waves, this extraordinary vacation awaits. Why not create unforgettable summer memories here with your family and loved ones?
