5 Recommended Beaches near Tokyo!

Beach season is coming!!! This is my favourite season of the year and I believe it’s same as yours 🙂 Japanese beautiful beaches are considered as located only in southern islands such as Okinawa prefecture. But it is NOT true! If you are craving to have a good time on a beautiful beach nearby Tokyo, I can whisper you my favourite beaches accessible from Tokyo easily!

Isshiki Beach,Hayama City

Very cool and chilled beach which is perfect for families and those who wants to avoid beach fuss. The beach is surrounded with green and rocky formation which makes the scenery very special and no wonder why the Imperial Villa is located here.

Access: By JR Yokosuka Line to Zushi station then take a bus ride (20mins) to Isshiki Kaigan

Yuigahama,Kamakura City

If you are a party lover and looking for summer fun and craziness, this beach is for you. The most crowded beach in Kanagawa prefecture is 3.2 km long with lines of beach shacks and beach activities where everything is happening. It is easy to access from Kamakura station.

Access: JR Yoksuka line to Kamakura station the take a bus or walk 20 mis.

Katase Beach,Enoshima

Located next to the popular tourist destination island,Enoshima. The two beaches are split by the island into East side and West side. If you are lucky, you can also enjoy the view of Mt.Fuji when the sky is clear.

Access: By Enoden from Fujisawa or Kamakura Station to Enoshima station OR You can directly reach from Shinjuku to Enoshima station by Odakyu Express line

Shirahama Beach,Shimoda

Izu Peninsula’s most popular beach is 800 m long with white sand and crystal water. If you are seeking for beautiful ocean but no time to go to Okinawa, strongly recommend here!

Access: By Tokaido line or Shinkansen to Ito station then take Izukyu Line to Shimoda station and take a bus (10mins) to Shirahama Kaigan.

Iritahama Beach,Shimoda

Close to Shirahama beach but this one is more like a hidden gem. This one has much more chilled atmosphere and make you feel like it’s your private beach. The transparency of the sea water in Iritahama beach has been ranked as one of the top in Japan!

Access: Take a bus from Shimoda station to Irita then walk 3 mins to the beach.
