Sasagawa Nagare

Sasagawa Nagare

Sasakawa Nagare, located from Hamashinbo (Torigoeyama) in Murakami City, Niigata Prefecture, to Samukawa (Kitsuzaki), is a beautiful coastline boasting some of the best transparency in Japan. Stretching for 11 kilometers, this coastline features unique rock formations, reefs, and caves shaped by the rough waves of the Sea of Japan, offering a magnificent landscape to enjoy. Recognized as a national scenic spot and natural monument, this area is particularly recommended for sightseeing by boat. On the approximately 40-minute boat trip, you can get up close to curious rock formations like Megane-Iwa (Eyeglasses Rock) and Kyoryu-Iwa (Dinosaur Rock), and even experience feeding seagulls. Evening trips are also available for enjoying the stunning sunset, so it’s advisable to make reservations early or choose less busy times for your ride. At the center of Sasakawa Nagare, there is an observation deck where you can take in views of Oushishi-Iwa (Lion Rock) and Awashima Island. The waiting area offers souvenir shops and dining options, making it convenient for visitors. Please enjoy the richly varied scenery throughout the four seasons.
