Enjoy the Crystal-Clear Seaside Scenery of the Sea of Japan at Yorii Beach

Yorii Beach is a spot in Niigata City where you can enjoy the open, expansive seaside scenery typical of the Sea of Japan. The crystal-clear sea and vast sky are truly impressive, and since it’s easily accessible from downtown, you can experience the quintessential Niigata seaside scenery even if you just stop by for a short while. On sunny days, the clarity of the water and the sparkle along the shoreline are breathtaking, making it a great spot for a seaside stroll or taking photos of the scenery.

Key points for photography

The key to taking great photos is to keep the composition as simple as possible, while emphasizing the clarity of the sea and the vastness of the sky. Shooting the shoreline from a low angle makes it easier to capture the sea’s sparkle and sense of depth. On days with a blue sky, focus on keeping the horizon straight and incorporate the movement of clouds and waves to create a refreshing photo that captures the essence of the Sea of Japan.
