Tsurugahama Beach: More Than Just Swimming — Roller Luge and Zorb Adventures Await in Kumamoto
2017.07.19

A SaruKuma writer’s first-hand visit to Tsurugahama Beach in Kumamoto. We cover family-friendly highlights, access, and opening hours so you can plan your perfect seaside day trip.

Today we’re heading to one of Kumamoto’s most charming seaside escapes: Tsurugahama Beach.
This lovely swimming spot is famous for its soft white sand and a natural canopy of pine trees that doubles as a built-in sunshade — perfect for hot Japanese summer days.


With plenty of shaded areas tucked beneath the pines, it’s wonderfully easy to find a cool spot to rest whenever you need a break from swimming.

And here’s a real bonus for travelers: the parking area sits right across the road from the beach, making it incredibly convenient to load and unload your gear!
