NO OCEAN, NO LIFE! You'll love the sea of Shonan even more!
｜Shonan Coast: Riviera Shonan Beach Clean
The 13 seaside cities and towns across Kanagawa Prefecture facing Sagami Bay (Miura, Yokosuka, Hayama, Zushi, Kamakura, Fujisawa, Chigasaki, Hiratsuka, Oiso, Ninomiya, Odawara, Manazuru, and Yugawara) have been designated the "Shonan Coast," and beach cleanups will be held in these seaside towns overlooking Mount Fuji.
Would you like to join us on a tour of the Shonan Coast while cleaning up the beach?
You'll be amazed at how different each beach is, depending on the color and size of the sand (from sand to stones), the waves and tides, the shape of the coast, the depth, and whether there are mountains or rivers. The trash that falls, washes up, and flows down the coast is also different. Please feel free to join us as a form of sustainable tourism that allows you to experience the diverse sea of Sagami Bay.
Participants include not only local residents, people from local companies and organizations, local government leaders and officials, but also many from Tokyo, Saitama, Tochigi and Shizuoka.
"Let's all go to the beach!"
