Chichibugahama

Overview

Chichibugahama is a coast facing the Suinanada Sea in Nio-cho, Mitoyo City, Kagawa Prefecture, and has long been known as a seaside resort. Boasting a long beach of approximately 1km, it's a popular spot for its beautiful sunset over the calm Seto Inland Sea. Especially at low tide during sunset, the water surface becomes mirror-like, earning it the name "Mirror of the Sky" and becoming a hot topic for its photos resembling Bolivia's Salar de Uyuni. Chichibugahama's "Mirror of the Sky" is a phenomenon seen during the magic hour just before the sun sets. Sunlight reflects on the water's surface, creating a breathtaking scene where the sky and sunset merge as one, appearing like a mirror. This magical view captivates many photographers and tourists, and is a frequent topic on social media. Chichibugahama offers beautiful scenery not only at sunset but also during the day. The contrast of the white sand beach and blue sea is truly worthy of its selection as one of Japan's best beaches. Pine groves also line the coast, offering a lovely contrast of green and blue.
