Kotohira Chichibugahama Beach Shuttle Bus
Kotohira Chichibugahama Beach Shuttle Bus

Chichibugahama Beach is a long beach in Mitoyo City, Kagawa Prefecture.
It's become a hot topic on social media that you can take photos at low tide dusk that look like they come from the Uyuni Salt Flats in Bolivia, South America!
You can take some great photos at tide pools that appear on the beach at dusk when the tide is low and the wind is not blowing.
