Sazu Coast

The greatest attraction of Satsu beach is its gracefully curving coastline and the crystal-clear waters of the Sea of Japan that stretch endlessly beyond it. White sand, a calm inlet, and scattered reefs combine to form a landscape sculpted by nature over thousands of years. As you walk along the shore, even a small shift in viewpoint reveals new angles of the coastline and rock formations, and the scenery changes constantly. Following the lines shaped by nature allows visitors to fully appreciate the distinctive coastal topography that defines this area. The beach has an open, spacious feel and waters suitable for enjoying marine activities such as stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) as well as sightseeing. Viewing the coast from the water offers a dynamic perspective that cannot be experienced from land. In the early morning and evening, soft light reflects on the sea, highlighting the elegant curves of the shoreline and creating a calm, memorable atmosphere. Around the beach, many traditional guesthouses stand alongside local homes, and everyday life unfolds naturally within this seaside community. Walking through the narrow lanes evokes a warm sense of nostalgia, as if returning to the Japanese countryside. Here, beautiful coastal scenery and daily life exist side by side, giving visitors an authentic glimpse of a tranquil seaside town.
