The sand is beautiful and with very small grains

At the entrance you can see a map of the sand dunes

Where land meets sky, with ocean in the middle

On the west side of the dunes, there is a lot of vegetation

On the east side, you can see the dunes through some trees

The wind blowing creates amazing patterns in the sand

The tallest dune is about 47 meters tall and leads down to the ocean

In the west area, the ground is a mix of rock and sand

The west side also has various types of plants

This awesome sand formation was created naturally over thousands of years and it is constantly growing. It is quite a connection between land, ocean, and sky. The views are amazing and you can hardly believe that you are still in Japan. The highest sand dune is about 47 meters tall and looking down towards the ocean you can almost wish you could fly over it. The area also has some green vegetation, particularly special flowers that are native to the area. It is about 16 km in length from the east side of the Uradome coast to the west where it reaches the Hakuto coast. In terms of fun, you can get a ride on a camel, or try sandboarding and even paragliding over the sand. I would recommend this destination for everyone, since it is quite an interesting and refreshing view of another part of Japan.
