Why not create your very own piece of art using the colorful seashells that have washed up on Kotobiki Beach?
Kotobiki Beach in Amino-cho, Kyotango City, is approximately 1.8 km long, and most of it consists of “singing sand.” Located on the western part of the Tango Peninsula, Kotobiki Beach features white sand and green pine trees, and its natural environment remains well-preserved; a variety of seashells wash ashore here. This hands-on experience allows participants to learn about the current state of beach debris through the shells, appreciate the natural beauty of the shells themselves, and discover the joy of crafting.

With a rich culinary culture featuring fresh seafood, agricultural products, and fruits—a culture highly regarded for its quality—the city has garnered attention as a destination for food-focused travel, as evidenced by its receipt of the “Gourmet City Award” in 2024. It is also known as one of the prefecture’s leading hot spring resorts, and as a city where nature, cuisine, hot springs, and history and culture harmonize, it offers a variety of ways to enjoy the area throughout all four seasons.
