About this location: Chichibugahama Beach
Chichibugahama is a wide, shallow beach in Mitoyo City. At low tide, tidal pools reflect sunset, earning the nickname 'Japan's Uyuni Salt Flat'. On calm evenings, sky and silhouettes appear as a perfect mirror on the wet sand.
Key features
- Mirror sunset — appears on days when low tide and sunset coincide, perfectly reflecting sky, figures, and clouds
- Silhouette photography — figures with raised arms, jumping, crouching, or lying down all reverse beautifully on the water surface
- Sky Mirror Calendar — Mitoyo City Tourism publishes a monthly schedule of optimal days (low tide + sunset + clear weather) on its official site
- Beachfront dining — «Chichibugahama Café» faces the beach directly, ideal for dining and watching the sunset after the shoot
- Access — about 1 hour by car from Takamatsu City; from JR Takuma Station, taxi or community bus
