Inage Beach (Inage Seaside Park) いなげの浜

Japans first artificial beach, renovated with pale white sand and palm-style resort facilities, where Chiba City runs a lifeguarded swimming season and sunsets glow over Tokyo Bay toward Fuji.

About

Inage no Hama opened in 1976 as Japans first man-made beach and is the centrepiece of Inage Seaside Park in Chiba city. A recent renovation added imported white sand, a beachfront restaurant and terrace, glamping and a seaside boardwalk, giving it an unexpectedly resort-like look 40 minutes from Tokyo. In summer (about mid-July to end of August) a 400 m section opens for supervised swimming with showers and changing rooms. On clear evenings the sun sets over the bay with Mount Fuji on the horizon, and the white sand and wooden pier make it a popular photo spot.

Highlights

• White-sand beach after a recent renovation
• Lifeguarded summer swimming section (about mid-July to end of August)
• Sunset over Tokyo Bay with Mount Fuji on clear days

Tips

• There are no beach huts; showers, changing rooms and toilets are in the park.
• Bus from JR Inage Station West Exit (Keisei bus), about 15 minutes, then a 5 minute walk.
• Winter sunsets are the clearest for Fuji.
• Inage Seaside Park Pool next door runs in summer if the sea is rough.
