    This beach is located on Kouri Island. As soon as I crossed the bridge, the endless ocean and beach came into view. Being here made me feel as though I had let go of all the stress from the office. Looking at the deep blue coast and vast sky, I felt as if I had been healed. I hope you’ll like it too.

    At Kouri Beach, you really can’t help but be drawn in by the ocean view! As soon as I stepped onto the beach, I saw a vast expanse of crystal-clear water. The beautiful shades of blue and green took my breath away, and I could even clearly see beneath the surface. The waves gently lapped against the shore one after another as the sea breeze softly blew, making me feel so relaxed. I couldn’t resist taking off my shoes and walking closer to the water to feel the sea and sand!

    The ocean in Okinawa is seriously no joke. It was so clear that I didn’t want to leave. I want to come back next time and really enjoy the water!

    This was my second visit to Kouri Island. The moment we drove from Yagaji Island onto Kouri Bridge, we could see the breathtaking, signature Kouri blue in the distance. The deep blue water paired with the straight bridge and its slightly distinctive curve was truly captivating.

    On my first trip to Okinawa, I stayed overnight on Kouri Island, and I could never forget that pristine beach. So when I returned to Okinawa this time, I specifically planned to stay on the island for two nights in a row. I wanted to slow down and quietly enjoy Kouri Island's unique, laid-back atmosphere. Compared with a rushed sightseeing itinerary, zoning out while listening to the waves and watching the sunset change was especially soothing. It's a great place for anyone who likes to unwind on vacation and spend some quiet time with their thoughts.

    Kouri Beach has unforgettable vivid blue water, ranging from turquoise and light blue near the shore to a deep blue in the distance. The layers of color against the blue sky and white clouds are mesmerizing. The fine white sand, clear water, and laid-back atmosphere are full of Okinawa vacation vibes. The beautiful scenery I saw then has also become a treasured summer memory〜

    Kouri Beach in Okinawa caught my eye at first sight with its ocean view! The water is a beautiful blue and so clear that you can see beneath the surface. The entire ocean looks incredibly clean and crystal clear.

    Standing by the shore with the sea breeze blowing and looking out over the endless blue water made me feel completely relaxed. As the sunlight shines on the water, it takes on different shades of blue depending on the angle. It’s really beautiful.
