The "Kan'ei Tsuho" painted on the sand of Ariake Beach is a huge sand painting measuring 122m east to west, 90m north to south, and 345m in circumference, and looks like a beautiful circle when viewed from the top of Kotobikiyama.

It is said that anyone who sees this coin will be healthy and live a long life, and will never be short of money. In recent years, people who have seen the coin and bought a lottery ticket have won large amounts, so it has become known as a spot for luck with money, and many tourists visit. The coin sand painting is formed and maintained by hand. This "sand digging" is held twice a year (spring and autumn), and the public can also participate (application required). In addition, in the summer, the "Zenigata Festival" dedicated to this coin is held in the city. (It is scheduled to be held every year on the second or third Saturday and Sunday of July)
