About Chigunu Beach

It once appeared in Ryukyu mythology, known for its energy spots and natural beaches.


Details

Located on the southern part of "Kouri Island," which has a circumference of about 8 kilometers, is a natural beach. According to Ryukyu mythology, a man and a woman lived in a semi-cave at Chigunu Beach, and they are said to be the ancestors of the Ryukyu people. This cave is known as the "Cave of Origins" and is a highly revered energy spot among the locals. This beautiful island beach features pristine waters and pure white sand, but due to the presence of many rocks, it is not suitable for swimming and is recommended as a sightseeing destination instead. The "Cave of Origins" is located next to the road that circles the island, and you can reach it by going down the stairs. Please be especially cautious as the road may be submerged during high tide.
