Katsuura · Okutu Coast Sunrise Beach

Okutu Coast in Katsuura City, Chiba Prefecture, is a relatively quiet beach even among the Sotobou area beaches. The coastline facing east toward the Pacific Ocean is known as a sunrise spot, and the sight of the morning sun rising from the horizon and painting the sea surface orange possesses a breathtaking beauty. In the early morning, local fishermen's boats come and go, and you can enjoy the morning scenery of a fishing village. While it bustles as a swimming beach in summer, the true connoisseur's way to enjoy it is a walk along the quiet coastline during the off-season.
