Tokuhama

The sunrise at Tokuhama is exceptional! The strong tropical sun makes the sea sparkle and shine.

If you walk in the morning, you can feel the different scenery and air from the sea in the daytime.It will be a great way to start the day!

Lined Deigo tree

It's a spot along the sea where giant trees of Deigo line up leisurely. Around the end of May, you can see beautiful bright red Deigo flowers.

It's a good idea to take a break while looking out at the sea in the shade of the trees!
