This beach is located in Nakijin Village in the northern part of Okinawa’s main island, about an hour and a half drive from Naha Airport. It is one of the three most famous snorkeling spots in the northern part of the island, but it is always empty due to its low publicity.
Point 1: What is the location where “Sakiyama Beach” is located?
Sakiyama Beach” is located in Nakijin Village in the northern part of Okinawa’s main island.
It is surrounded by some of the most famous beaches in Nakijin Village, including Upsigai, Sadabama, and Murabito no Hama.
It takes quite an hour and a half by car from Naha Airport, and even after getting out of the car, you can enjoy the adventure of walking along a roadless path lined with tropical plants, so this beach may be perfect for the curious and adventurous.
Point 2: One of the three best beaches in the northern part of Japan? What kind of beach is “Sakiyama Beach”?
Sakiyama Beach” is located between Churaumi Aquarium and Kouri Island in Nakijin Village, a resort area in the northern part of Okinawa’s main island. There are so many beautiful beaches along this coastline that they are used for filming movies, commercials, and weddings.
Some of the beaches are so beautiful that locals charge exorbitant fees just to park their cars there, so be careful.
Among them, the less well-known Sakiyama Beach is actually one of the three most famous beaches in the northern part of Japan among snorkeling enthusiasts, with a long beach of clean white sand and clarity as clear as that of a remote island. That is an overall rating, from the clarity of the ocean to the cleanliness of the beach and its accessibility.
If such a great beach is available because it is just not generally well-known, this can only be called a “hole in the wall”.
Hopefully, the hole-in-the-wall will remain a hole-in-the-wall for a long time, but Okinawa is always developing resorts, and one day it may cease to be a hole-in-the-wall.
Such ephemeral places are also nice.
Point 3: What are the sights and food around “Sakiyama Beach”?
Sakiyama Beach” is located in Nakijin Village in the northern part of Okinawa’s main island, and is a slightly more adult resort area.
The Nakijin Castle Ruins, a 10-minute drive from the beach, is a must-see attraction. The streamlined masonry of the castle ruins, built at a time when Japan did not yet have the technology for masonry, is a must-see.
As for gourmet food, we recommend “Nakijin Soba” (Okinawan buckwheat noodles), located 7 minutes away by car. It is a standard type of soba, but some of them are served with brown sugar pudding and juicy rice to whet your appetite.
