Japan is a long island country with the East China Sea and the Sea of Japan on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other. Its length results in quite a lot of coastline that is home to numerous beaches. The swimming season and climate significantly vary, however, from the north to the south. Most of the beaches that are best for swimming and sunbathing are located in southern Japan in Okinawa, but many great beaches can be found in other parts of the country as well.
