  SPOT01Nakatajima Sand Dunes

  

  Nakatajima Sand Dunes: one of Japan's three largest sand dunes
  A view of the vast, unobstructed Enshu coastlineNakatajima Sand Dunes boasts a vast area of ​​approximately 4km from east to west and 600m from north to south, and is popular for its magnificent scenery unique to sand dunes, and is also famous as a mass egg-laying site for loggerhead turtles. The sand dunes were formed when the Tenryu River, which flows into the Enshu Nada Sea, carried sediment, which was washed up by the waves and carried by the wind, and their history is said to date back to the Jomon period. However, recent environmental changes have caused the dunes to shrink, so erosion control measures and conservation activities are becoming increasingly important. You will experience the characteristics and charms of the Enshu coast as you stroll through the sand dunes.
