Arai Benten Beach
Small coastal beach with rocky foregrounds and a Benten shrine/islet motif — great for seascapes, long exposures, and minimalistic compositions. Best at sunrise or sunset for low-angle light and color; low tide reveals tidal pools and leading lines. Easily accessible by car (local parking nearby) and on foot from Kosai; no entry fee but be respectful near shrine areas. Weekdays and early mornings are least crowded. Weather: clear mornings for sunrises, cloudy evenings for dramatic skies.
