Shimamui Coast/Shimamui Coast Observation Deck

The cobalt blue ocean view is impressive!

A beautiful coast that has been selected as one of Japan's 100 best beaches. It is a spot where you can see the clear cobalt blue ocean with a color described as "Shakotan Blue."

As you pass through a small tunnel that only pedestrians can pass through, you will see sheer cliffs, gigantic rocks, and the "Shakotan Blue" sea, which is truly a spectacular view! The transparency is so high that you can see the bedrock of the ocean floor, and the magnificent, sparkling ocean spreads out before you. Shimamui Coast is the only spot where you can go down to the water's edge in the area surrounded by sheer cliffs.

In early summer, the Ezo daylily flowers, the town flower of Shakotan, are in full bloom on the cliffs, creating a particularly beautiful scene. Please enjoy the vast panorama that goes on forever.
