I always thought Kamakura was beautiful until I came here…

Just hearing the name "Ameharu Coast" already makes my heart flutter ❤️

Half is the poetry of rain, half is the joy of sunshine

☀️ Ameharu Coast Walking Guide! Instantly travel through a magical coastline of dreamy blue and gray!

✅ The most complete Ameharu Coast travel guide, this article is all you need 👇

Reasons to Recommend
A hidden gem in Takaoka City! A divine composition with the Tateyama Mountain Range on the left and the Sea of Japan on the right 💫

📍 Address: 24-74 Ota, Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture, Japan
🚌 Transportation Tips: Take the JR Himi Line from Takaoka Station, 12 minutes direct to "Ameharu Station," then a 5-minute walk to the coastline

📸 Must-visit photo spots
1️⃣ Onna Rock Observatory: From here, you can capture both the snow-capped Tateyama Mountain Range and the sea rocks. On rainy days, it has an even more ink-painting-like atmosphere!
2️⃣ Yoshitsune Rock: The legendary rock where Minamoto no Yoshitsune escaped a storm. On sunny days, the sea water is as blue as glass (but sudden rain is the norm)

🌦️ Magical weather surprises
• Be sure to bring a transparent umbrella! One moment it's blue skies and white clouds, the next it could be a downpour, but the rainy Onna Rock feels like a scene from "Spirited Away"
• Recommended to come between 6-8 AM to catch the morning mist; the way the fog flows between the snowy mountains and coastline is breathtaking

🍱 Food surprises
• "Kainoya" next to Ameharu Station: The freshly caught glowing firefly squid donburi actually glows! (Limited from March to May each year)
• "Rishiri Café" in front of Takaoka Station: Their brown rice latte made with Toyama Bay sea salt is special

💡 Tips for Japanese travelers
• Very few lockers at the station! It’s recommended to store your luggage at Takaoka Station
• For photos of clear skies and snowy mountains, visit in winter for the best visibility season
• The rocky area is slippery! Wear non-slip shoes to get the same Yoshitsune Rock photo spot
