Haraoka Coast
A scenic coast known for its photogenic views of a wooden pier and the sunset.
Haraoka Coast in Tomiura, Minamiboso City, is a seaside spot known for the iconic scenery created by Haraoka Pier (Okamoto Pier), a rare wooden pier stretching out over the sea. From the end of the pier extending straight toward the water, you can enjoy wide views of the Miura Peninsula and the Izu area across the bay, and on clear days, even see Mt. Fuji.
At sunset, the sky and sea turn a deep red, creating a striking view. When the lights lining the pier come on, their reflections shimmer on the water and create a dreamy atmosphere. Many visitors come for this photogenic scenery, and the area is also known as a filming location for TV dramas and commercials.
Nearby are Roadside Station Tomiura Biwa Club and Toyooka Beach, Tadarakita Beach, making this a great area to stop by during a drive. It is especially popular as a place to enjoy the calm seaside atmosphere typical of Minamiboso.
