Kofun-era Tombs

The name of Japan’s Kofun period (around 250 to 550) comes from the tombs (kofun) of this era. Nine are hidden in various locations of Yurihama. Visit a full-scale reproduction of one of the tombs.

Ikeda-han Warehouse

Shikokaze no Oka Tomari

Overlooking the Tomari region of Yurihama, this hill holds fun for the whole family. Play a round of ground golf at its birthplace. Ride the "Super Slide" down the side of the hill, and look for dinosaurs in The Explorer's Forest. This park also features a gigantic wind turbine, which was one of the first large turbines in the area. A beautiful ocean view also makes this a great spot for a picnic.

Beaches

Yurihama's beaches draw many tourists in the summer, but there is plenty to enjoy all year round. Fish, camp, or hike on the beaches in the Hawai and Tomari areas. Ishiwaki beach features squeaking sands. The oysters and fish from this region are famous, so make sure to try them at one of the restaurants by the ocean.
