Chirihama Nagisa Driveway, nestled in Hodatsushimizu, Japan, stands out as an extraordinary beach path that stretches for 8 kilometers along the coast, presenting an unusual type of adventure to those who traverse its beautiful shores. Unlike traditional beaches where sandcastle building and sunbathing are the norms, this beach is renowned for a unique activity: driving. Visitors can actually drive along the beach, feeling the breeze and admiring the sea on one side, with the opportunity to stop and indulge in clam digging, making it a one-of-a-kind experience. The color of the sand is a captivating blend of light grey and soft beige, inviting with its gentle warmth and smooth texture. Despite its distinct offering, Chirihama Nagisa Driveway has few amenities, so plan your trip accordingly, although it does allow for disability access to ensure everyone can enjoy the stunning beachside drive.

For those looking to dine near Chirihama Nagisa Driveway, the area boasts a variety of restaurants catering to a range of tastes. Seafood lovers will delight in the offerings of Umi no Hana, known for its fresh catches and traditional Japanese seafood dishes. Another notable establishment is Nagisa Restaurant, which specializes in local cuisine, giving visitors a taste of the region's culinary delights in a cozy setting.

Nearby hotels provide comfortable accommodations for those wishing to extend their visit. Hotel Route-Inn Hakui is a convenient option, offering modern amenities and a welcoming atmosphere. For a more traditional experience, the Noto Royal Hotel provides guests with Japanese-style rooms and hot springs, ideal for relaxing after a day of beach exploration and driving. Both options cater to a range of preferences, ensuring a restful stay.

Parking at Chirihama Nagisa Driveway is conveniently free and available, supporting both the local and international visitors who come to experience this unique beach drive. The ease of access is greatly appreciated by those looking to explore the beach without the hassle commonly associated with beach visits. Having a free parking lot adds to the allure of the location, ensuring that the journey is as pleasant as the destination itself.

A fun fact about Chirihama Nagisa Driveway is that it is one of the only beaches in the world where driving on the sand is permitted. This rare feature is thanks to the unique compaction of the sand particles, which are firm enough to support vehicular travel without getting stuck. This phenomenon allows visitors an unrivaled experience of cruising along the coastline, making it a notable point of interest for automotive enthusiasts and beach lovers alike.

Attractions on and near the beach include not only the exhilarating experience of driving on the sands but also the opportunity to engage in clam digging during the appropriate season.
