Witness a Sunset Where the Sky and Sea Become One
Take a special sunset shuttle from Kotohira to Chichibugahama Beach — a long stretch of scenic coastline in Mitoyo, Kagawa, famous on social media for its breathtaking mirror-like reflections at low tide.
Often compared to Bolivia’s Uyuni Salt Flats, this is one of Japan’s most photogenic sunset spots.
