The Official Profile

When you meet the neighboring east ring baths, you will have a beach of about a mile. During the water bath season in July, we are hosting the "Steve of Nature's Natural Aquarium" menu, where we enjoy playing with natural aquariums and observing aquatic life. Also, the Beach bench project, which sets up a homemade bench on the beach, has become a place for people to rest. This is a beach where rocks in shallow water are popular with families. The aquarium sites that run the natural rocks are home to a variety of shells and crabs, which are ideal for play, and are always where the children are moaning. It was here that a day was pardoned from Sado, and there is the "Sun's Temple" where the god of the day was erected, asking for the third god. It's also said that this beach area is Japan's first beach bath. Local residents and beach tea people are actively protecting their homes around bathhouses and beaches, as well as city cleaning activities. I can't do it. If you're on a railroad bus, you're on a bus. It's about ten minutes before the Kashiwazaki train station Kashiwazaki, a rail bus ahead of the Kashiwazaki station, a whale wave line ahead of the port entrance stop, ten minutes on foot, a train, a train, a train. If you're in the car, you're in the car I'm going to take you down from KashiwazakiIC, north-land road. Kashiwazaki CityIOCERATION OF the Ministry of the Environment
