Ubara Beach, located 100 km southeast of Tokyo, offers a serene escape with its light-colored sands and turquoise waters. Nearly abandoned except for locals, it transforms into a bustling hub during summer vacations.

Celebrated as one of the "100 Best Beaches in Japan," Ubara is perfect for those seeking solitude, stunning photography opportunities, and a taste of small village life.

With no nearby convenience stores, visitors should bring their own supplies. The beach is easily accessible via a 10-minute walk from the Ubara Utopia Visitor Parking Lot.

Whether you seek solitude or the perfect photograph, Ubara Beach offers a unique escape from the crowds. I highly recommend visiting this hidden gem to experience its natural beauty firsthand.
