Review:
The island country of Japan has its very own sandbar that appears and disappears with particular ocean tides. This unique sandbar can be found at Yurigahama, located on Yoronjima in the Kagoshima prefecture. The views from Yurigahama often makes visitors feel as if they are walking in the clouds with the white sand and crystal clear waters, creating a spectacular and almost magical landscape. Visitors at the Yurigahama Beach can see the sandbar at the end of each month. The beach is often associated with stars due the star shaped sand. Yurigahama is situated around 1.5 kilometers off-island.
