Kagami no Umi
かがみの海
Let's take captivating and spectacular photos! A miraculous combination of the sky and the sea
Fukuma Beach is located about six minutes by bus from JR Fukuma Station. From there, the beautiful 3-km stretch of beach leading north to Miyajihama and Tsuyazaki Beach is called “Kagami no Umi” (Sea of Mirrors). The name Kagami no Umi comes from the fact that when the tide recedes, the sandy beach and tide pools reflect the sky like a mirror, creating a fantastic sight. The arch-shaped white sandy beach is shallow and clear, and the scenery is picturesque no matter where you cut it off.
The most recommended times to visit are the magic hours of sunset and sunrise. In the morning, the rising sun creates a colorful and fantastic scenery, and in the evening, the orange-tinted sky creates a view like a scene from a movie.
The charm of this beach is that once you get the hang of it, you can take beautiful, professional-looking photos even with a smartphone. The key is the timing of low tide and the weather. You can check the forecast calendar on the official website, so be sure to check before you visit.
