Tarase Coast

The Tarase Coast [辛牙筌 たらせ・なみ] is a stretch of coastline located in the western ward of Tarase, Saka Prefecture, overlooking Honnami Bay. It is considered one of the most scenic regions in the prefecture, and attracts thousands of visitors each year.
The coast is known for its beaches, and offers opportunities for fishing, surfing, watersports, wild camping, and hiking. The rugged yet picturesque quality of the area is considered particularly novel by those coming from highly industrialised urban areas. Tarase Lighthouse is located on the coast, built in 1935, and which has traditionally guided ships into Honnami Bay.
