OFFICIAL KUMAMOTO TOURISM GUIDE

Sightseeing

Central area

Okoshiki Seashore

Wave and wind art drawn in the Ariake Sea, where there is a huge difference in tidal range. When the tide begins to dry, a crescent-shaped pattern appears from the bottom of the sea. When it overlaps with the sunset, it glows orange, dusk purple, silver during the day, and gold during the full moon night. It was chosen as 100 selections of Japanese seashores and 100 selections of Japanese sunsets.
