This picturesque stretch of beach is located in the Sanriku Recovery National Park near Miyako City, a perfect place to stop and relax for those who are traveling up this marvelous stretch of the Iwate coastline. The beach is covered in white pebbles and looks out over clear waters and rocky islands.
It’s the peacefulness and beauty of these sights that gave the beach its name, which translates to “Pure Land” — a concept of Buddhism roughly analogous to heaven. In summer, when the waters are warmest, it’s certainly a heavenly place for swimmers. To accommodate them, there are good facilities including changing rooms, showers, and toilets along the beach.
Wander around a little more and you’ll find some nice walking trails, piers, viewpoints, and several museums related to the area. One is the beach’s own free museum, and the other is one dedicated to the fishing culture of the region. Jodogahama Beach is also a fantastic place to head out on the waters and explore more of the Sanriku Coast, with cruises running from here to some of the top sightseeing spots such as the Blue Cave.

这片风景如画的海滩位于宫古市附近的三陆复兴国立公园内，是岩手海岸线上旅行者停留放松的绝佳去处。海滩上布满白色鹅卵石，眺望着清澈的海水和岩石岛屿。
净土 "是佛教中的一个概念，大致相当于天堂。夏天，海水最温暖的时候，这里无疑是游泳者的天堂。为了满足游泳者的需要，海滩上还设有更衣室、淋浴间和厕所等完善的设施。
再四处逛逛，您会发现一些漂亮的步行小径、码头、观景点和几个与该地区有关的博物馆。一个是海滩自己的免费博物馆，另一个是专门介绍该地区渔业文化的博物馆。净土浜海滩也是出海游览三陆海岸的绝佳地点，这里有游船前往蓝洞等一些顶级观光景点。

岩手县的净土浜海滩（Jodogahama Beach）是一片天堂般的海滨，海水温暖，阳光充足，有许多值得一看、一玩的地方。

Jodogahama Beach 

Located on the Pacific coast of the Tohoku Region, on the north of Japan’s main island, Iwate Prefecture benefits from the best of both worlds. As the second biggest prefecture in the country—beaten only by Hokkaido—it stretches out across vast swathes of mountains, farmlands, and coastline. The high-end Appi Kogen Ski Resort sees some of the country’s best snow sports in winter, while the coastal roads offer pleasant drives in summer. 

In fact, the Sanriku Coast is a contender for most beautiful in the country, although reconstruction efforts are still under way to repair the damage done by the 2011 tsunami. To learn more about this event, head along to the modern Iwate Tsunami Museum in Rikuzentakata. The displays here tell of the terrible cost of and stunning recovery from the disaster.

The prefecture also has plenty to offer for foodies, with some of the best buckwheat grown here used to make incredible soba noodles. If you hike up to the beautiful Genbikei Gorge, you can even order some dango sweet rice dumplings from the most famous shop which serves them—Kakkoya—delivered across the rushing rapids on a rope and cable.

You might want to stay away from the rivers in Iwate, the birthplace of the legendary “kappa,” murderous humanoid turtles (mer-turtles? tur-maids?). Anyone with an interest in such colorful Japanese folklore should pay Iwate a visit; the prefecture has birthed more than its fair share of myths and legends.

Whether you’re looking for culinary adventures, mythical adventures, or just plain ordinary adventures, you’re guaranteed to find plenty of things to do in Iwate.

NOT SURE WHERE TO GO?

The archipelago of Japan consists of four main islands, eight regions of Japan, and a total of 47 prefectures between them, each with their own diverse traditions, culture, food, and history. Hokkaido is the main northern island, followed by Honshu (home to Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu, Kansai, and Chugoku), Shikoku, Kyushu, and the Okinawa islands to the southwest.

Discover the unique offerings of each region by checking out the Japan areas above, like the coastal prefecture of Shizuoka (home to hot springs, Mt. Fuji, and a booming agricultural industry) and Nara Prefecture (which boasts eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites). While Japan might be perceived as a tiny country (the archipelago is smaller than the state of California), the nation is diverse in climate and culture. Each area of Japan has its own staple produce and regional Japanese cuisine.

Not only can you explore the popular destinations of Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, but there are also a variety of other areas in Japan ranging from adventurous spots for daredevils to super-rural areas where visitors can connect with the land and people. From climbing Mt. Fuji in Shizuoka to indulging in matcha tea in Uji to enjoying island life in Okinawa (considered to be Japan’s Hawaii), these Japan areas each offer diverse experiences and ample opportunity for exploration. To make your Japan travel planning a little easier, browse these area pages where you can discover Japan tourist attractions, Japanese food experiences, and more!

Delve into Japanese food culture, discovering the distinctive and diverse range of Japanese dishes which are sometimes sophisticated, sometimes hearty and comforting, but always delicious. These Japanese foods offer a window into the world of “washoku” (Japanese cuisine), which made UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2013.	


There’s worldwide appreciation for Japanese food, with Tokyo boasting the world’s highest number of Michelin-starred restaurants for the 12th year in a row in 2019. Not only is Japan home to some of the best chefs and restaurants in the world, but the Japanese cuisine (“washoku”) is also celebrated as one of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritages. The main staples of Japanese food include rice (in various forms from steamed white rice to mochi), soy products (tofu, soy sauce, miso soup, natto), fish (sashimi, bonito flakes, grilled salmon), seaweed (kombu, nori, wakame), noodles (soba, udon, ramen), and tsukemono (Japanese pickles). Different regions of Japan also have their own specialty foods. Osaka, considered “The Nation’s Kitchen” is the birthplace of takoyaki, Kyoto is famous for tofu and yuba, and Okinawa is known for goya champuru (bittermelon stir fry). Many regions in Japan have their own special twists on dishes like Japanese ramen, nabe (hot pot), and ozoni (mochi soup eaten on New Year’s Day). Explore the Japanese foods above and learn about the diversity of Japanese cuisine, then perhaps you can join a food experience and learn to make Japanese food during a cooking class, become an expert on Japanese sake or tea during a tasting experience, or discover your new favorite type of ramen during a ramen tour. The landscape of Japanese food is evolving, so eating in Japan is always an adventure, with restaurants and chefs riffing on traditional and modern foods, Eastern and Western cooking styles and flavors, and creating inventive eats like chocolate ramen, matcha beer, or ridiculously pillowy Japanese pancakes.
