Kotohikihama Singing Sand Cultural Building

This is an experience-based facility where you can learn everything about the singing sands of Kotohikihama Beach. Many things drift in on the ocean’s current into Kotohikihama Beach on the Sea of Japan. See the stories these items tell. You can view sand, quarts and small shell samples under a microscope to get a closer look. The sand does not “sing” as well when it is wet, so if you miss the chance to hear the sand sing at Kotohikihama Beach you can hear it here regardless of the weather.

Entrance Fee: Adults 300 yen (200 yen for groups of 15 or more) / 13-18 y.o 100 yen
(Care assistants accompany someone that needs their assistance is free)
