I visited for snorkeling. It was a very nice place. We saw many fish nearby, including clownfish and schools of squid. There was no visible oil on the sea surface. There were a lot of sea urchins.If you want to see fish up close, we recommend diving at Kashiwajima.

I stayed at Bike Can Two on a Saturday in early September 2024. It was just me and one other person going solo. There are many families here, so it is not suitable for people who want to camp quietly. Lights were off at 10 o'clock, but I could hear people talking and washing dishes until about 2 o'clock. The area where you pitch your tent is a wooden deck with a certain gap, so be careful if your tent uses thin poles as they may get caught in these gaps and bend. I got addicted to it many times and almost ended up bending it without realizing it at first. At night, the starry sky was so beautiful that I was able to see a starry sky like this for the first time in a while, so it was soothing. There is one washlet toilet and one Japanese style toilet.

You can rent life jackets and marine shoes at the facility, which was convenient.Maybe I had high expectations for the sea...honestly, it didn't feel that beautiful. Is the oil on the sea surface from the feed for farmed tuna, as mentioned in the reviews? A large amount of white oil is flowing, and is it something like crushed bait? was floating all over the place, and the smell was very strong.There were a lot of fish in the sea, and the children looked happy, but I felt that it was not a place where we would spend hours and hours going all the way to the sea.Isn't the information about Kashiwajima that you search online (photos) too beautiful? That's what I thought. Was it beautiful a few years ago?

This town-run campground was very reasonably priced, clean, and we enjoyed swimming on the shore below. The nights were so clear that we could see the Milky Way, and my son, who was experiencing camping for the first time, was so excited he couldn't sleep. Coincidentally, I was able to see a row of Starlink satellites, and I was able to see about 10 meteors an hour.There is a restriction that check-in is from 14:00 to 16:00, but check-out is 13:00, so you can relax. Guests staying at the campsite can park their cars and play at leisure until the beach closes at 4:00 PM the next day, and there is no additional charge if they go to another beach and come back.In our case, we folded up our tent in the morning and headed out to the shore on the Kayashima side, but we didn't really enjoy the underwater creatures and corals, so we made a U-turn and came back, but we didn't have to pay any extra and were allowed to just play. . The toilets were cleaned several times a day, and the coin showers, which cost 300 yen for 5 minutes, had plenty of hot water.Ryugahama Beach below is slippery with fist-sized stones, so water shoes are a must. Perhaps because there are so many places to hide, a wide variety of creatures live there, and fish flock to the area to catch the moss and microorganisms that fly up when people touch the underwater rocks. I want you to bring snorkeling or box glasses.I haven't been able to count them yet, but I think we saw over 100 types of fish, molluscs, and crustaceans.I think it's better if the tent site is a separate area so you can hang a hammock or washing rope on the railing.In addition to the oven, the kitchen also has a pizza oven, but the doorway has deteriorated due to the sea breeze and strong winds, so there are some tricks to using it. Firewood for fuel is provided free of charge, and if you don't have enough, you can get as much as you want by going to the office or the beach.There are plenty of taps available, but please use them with proper etiquette. If you flush residue or oil, it will easily become clogged and flow straight into the sea. You should take your trash home with you and avoid juicy menus as much as possible."addition"I went there this year too.The seaweed and fish numbers and types were significantly reduced near the coast, perhaps due to the high water temperature. I noticed that many of the corals were also bleached.Looking at the sea from the coastline, we saw many fish in the rocky area on the left, so we recommend that area for snorkeling. At high tide, oily food from nearby farms may wash in, but at low tide it flows back into the clean ocean.When I stayed this year, the guests at the site next door kept the lights on and played loud music until after 11pm, so I couldn't really enjoy the sounds of the insects or the night sky. In addition, the previous day's guests had left a large amount of BBQ rubbish hidden under the deck, and the staff did not notice, so we were bothered by the smell and cockroaches. This is just luck.I'm looking forward to next year.

When I visited Kashiwajima,After researching information on nearby beaches and parking lots and looking around the area, I decided to swim here.Even for day useThere is a usage fee of 200 yen per person.I think it would be better to think of it as a parking fee.You can also use the shower facility for 300 yen for 5 minutes, making it easy to clean up after swimming.The beach is a gravel beachThere is a certain amount of depth, butSnorkeling in a very beautiful seaIt was great to see so many fish.It's a natural aquarium.There isn't much flow either.As a point of caution,There are a lot of sea urchins, so marine shoes are a must.

He came to pick me up on a weekday. Since we arrived before sunset, it was difficult to see how beautiful the sea was, but I could tell that it was beautiful.Due to the salt marsh right next to it, there were too many mosquitoes during the season. I think there was a time when there was only one group of other users, but it feels like there are always around ten. If you are going to use it, please take precautions against insects.Afterwards, the starry sky was so beautiful.

The place is beautiful. My dog and I have toured many places, but this campground was the most comfortable we've ever been to. We had a great view of the bay and Kashiwa Island. The man at the reception was very friendly and answered all my questions.

My expectations were too high...I've been preparing for snorkeling and SUP in the sea of Kochi for a year now.Although it is a campsite, the environment is perfect for the courteous staff, the ease of use of the deck site, the kitchen, and the unloading by car.Unfortunately, the beach is smelly and dirty probably due to the influence of the fish farm. Technically speaking, the ocean is clean, but the food from the fish farms? It was dirty, smelly, and was clinging to my swimsuit. Moreover, even if I washed it at the campsite and put it in the dryer, it wouldn't dry at all. . . I want my money and time back.It may have been the wrong time to go to the beach, but it was very disappointing. If you plan to visit the beach with a beach and camping set, you should reconsider. If it's just a campsite, everything except the dryer is perfect.If you found something helpful, I would appreciate it if you could "like" it. thank you.

In the middle of the Obon holiday, the beach is only used for swimming.Perhaps due to the parking space, there is a limit to the number of cars allowed in the outpatient clinic, up to 26 cars. It arrived earlier than I expected, but it was the last minute for the 26th car. I hate that competition is necessary even in a rural area like this... It can't be helped since it's the Obon holiday... It seems that only people can enter as long as they do not enter by car. For day trip swimming, doors open at 9:30, admission is 200 yen per person, no parking fee, showers are 300 yen until 3:30 pm, exit is until 4:00 pm. Cash only. I didn't use the changing room, but probably in the shower room.However, the person in charge said that these rules seem to change quite a bit.The sea was a little cloudy due to the heavy rain that had fallen three days earlier...which was a shame (even the river, which is said to be clear, was brown in color). However, the number of tropical fish was great, as was rumored. It was worth buying a new snorkel set. The sea water is not cold and is at a temperature that you can stay in it for as long as you like. I would definitely like to come again.In terms of equipment...a snorkel is required. You will need footwear that you can wear even when entering the water; there are many sea urchins, so going barefoot is dangerous. At the seashore, it is difficult to stand upright as the waves push you and your feet slip on the cobblestones. I prepared marine gloves this time, but they weren't necessary; people who stumble and fall at the seaside may need gloves.During Obon, the temperature of the stones on the beach rises to a point where you can't touch them, making it impossible to sit on them. A sunshade tent or parasol is suitable, and at least a leisure seat is required. You need to bring your own lunch. There are drink vending machines.

The staff is super nice. The snorkeling here is amazing and I hope they keep taking care of the reef. ( the boats should probably start using biofuel in the regarding the tourist boats that come from the little so that the water stays as clean as it can! ) Be prepared not to be able to have a campfire, but they do have a nice little area to cook with some sinks and places to make fires that includes a wood fire pizza oven. Make sure not to forget your camp chairs as there's no picnic benches and you'll have to tie your tents down to the decks provided for tents if there's wind. It's not a sandy beach it's a rocky beach so you'll want to remember your beach shoes. A beach umbrella or canopy is a good idea especially when you can put over your tent if it's the cheaper kind because if it rains it will rain suddenly and you will get very wet if you don't have a proper rain fly. Over all it is a well maintained camp and fun. It's really pretty and quiet. It's a peaceful campsite with a beautiful beach. In the summer you were lulled to sleep with the sounds of night birds crickets the ocean etc.

I went there in mid-August, and it was a great camping trip for 3 days and 2 nights. The sea was really beautiful and I was surprised that a place like this existed in Shikoku. Snorkeling was fun.I will go again.I also appreciated the staff's response.

There are many fish in the sea and you can enjoy snorkeling.Some places are shallow and some are quite deep. I think floats or life jackets are a must.Stones and rocks are also dangerous. Marine shoes are also required.

This time I will only be using it for swimming in the sea.The fee is 200 yen per person. Parking and restrooms are now available. A hot shower costs 300 yen and lasts for 5 minutes. It takes a long time, so you can easily accommodate three people at the same time, including adults and children, or adults of the same sex.The staff's response is refreshing and nice. I thought it would be perfect for an outdoor facility like this.Although I thoroughly enjoyed it, I didn't give it 5 stars because I didn't think it was a sandy beach, so I didn't feel the charm of Kashiwajima's sea to its fullest.A friend of mine told me that Kashiwajima's sea is purified by sand made from weathered granite, so it's clean. He said it was just his personal opinion, but every time I went to Kashiwajima, I saw the ocean and was convinced. Based on that kind of thinking, I felt that ``Ryugahama doesn't have a sandy beach'' was a ``?'' question, so I don't think I'm sorry.This may not be a fair point of view, but this is my impression after swimming at Ryugahama Beach."It's highly transparent, but the bottom is not sandy, so the brightness of the water seen from above is a loss." "It's in a bay, so the water quality is worse than other places." "The rocks in the sea are slippery and difficult to walk on."The great thing about it is that when you snorkel, you can see so many fish. It's amazing. There were loud cheers from my grandson, from nearby families with their children, and from the group beyond when they found a school of fish. We recommend that you read pamphlets about the fish you can encounter on Kashiwajima that are distributed at information centers in advance.I'm just guessing, but I think there are more fish at Ryugahama than under the bridge (Kashiwajima Beach), which is often seen in Kashiwajima introduction photos. A typical tropical fish suddenly appeared when it entered the water. This is impressive.However, there were also groups of large mullets wandering around, and it was also a place where 30 cm class black sea bass (a size called black sea bream in some areas) would occasionally cross.Recommended for those who want to see many fish while snorkeling.

I went there at the invitation of a friend who goes there every year because he thought the sea was beautiful, but Kashiwajima was crowded with people, there was a lot of garbage, and I didn't feel like the water was all that clean.Even if we didn't go that deep, there were lots of big fish and blue fish near the rocks.

The inland sea is very calm, and you can see many small to medium-sized fish.You can even swim close to Nemo (clownfish), and I think it's a great place for snorkeling.The coast is a stone beach and there are a lot of sea urchins, so I recommend regular sneakers, as marine shoes can easily penetrate thin fabrics.

I took my kindergartener and my grandson, who is in the lower grades of elementary school, to the beach for a day trip to the beach (snorkeling). Parking is free and admission is 200 yen per person.It's not very shallow, so life vests and floats are a must, but there were plenty of fish in relatively shallow areas, and clownfish in slightly deeper areas.It's a fairly large gravel beach, so your feet will hurt unless you wear marine shoes with thick soles.One disappointing thing was that day-trippers had one hour less access (until 4pm) than overnight guests.

The seawater nearby is highly transparent, and you can see a variety of fish even close to the shore. The campsite has a wide variety of things to choose from, and it would be perfect if the campsite had electricity.
