Isshiki Beach was selected as one of CNN's "World's 65 Best Beaches" and is also included in the Ministry of the Environment's "100 Best Swimming Beaches."

Fuji beyond the red torii gate and Yujiro Lighthouse.

A summer tradition in Hayama. Fireworks are launched intensively for 10 minutes at two venues: Isshiki Beach and Morito Beach.

Previously, both venues were on the same day, but to avoid congestion,they are now split into different days.The good thing about this town's fireworks is that you can look up at the fireworks launched from over the sea from a very close distance on the sandy beach. Since the launch time is short, it is recommended to be on the beach 30 minutes before the start time.
