About Emerald Beach
- For the best experience of the emerald green sea and white sand, we recommend visiting during the bright daylight hours.
- The Asobi-no-Hama (Play Beach) area is ideal for families with children due to its calm waves.
- For a relaxing time with a view, the Nagame-no-Hama (Viewpoint Beach) area is highly recommended.
- If you plan to rent equipment, please prepare CASH for both the rental fee and the required security deposit.
- To protect the natural environment, please check local rules regarding snorkeling before starting your activities.
