Kotohiki Park’s Ariake Beach, noted for its beautiful white sand, is listed as one of Japan’s 100 best beaches and 100 most scenic beachfront pine groves. Perhaps even better-known, though, is the park’s giant sand art in the shape of an Edo-period copper coin, measuring 122 meters east-west and 90 meters north-south with a circumference of 345 meters. Those who come to see the sand painting are said to enjoy good health and a long life free of financial worries.
