Going to Utsumi Beach

I've been thinking for quite some time to go to 'the beach' here in Japan. The thing that stopped me to do it before, was actually that nobody could really advice me what beach was close to Nagoya (for a one-day trip) and rather nice. Yesterday, we finally took the chance and left for Utsumi.

Utsumi is known as the beach that has the finest sand in the world and the beach is known throughout the Tokai region for its beauty that extends in the shape of a bow. The length of the beach is about 1.6km and many tourists visit here all year round for sea bathing and fishing in summer and spa bathing in winter.

How to get there?
It took us about 90 minutes from Nagoya Station taking the Meitetsu Line to Utsumi. On the map above, it is actually the name of the place in Minamichita town, the southernmost town in the Chita peninsula.



I really liked it. Does anybody have other nice beaches to propose?
