Tokashiku beach
Tokashiku Beach is a calm place with shallow waters located in the western part of the island of the same name, about 40 km away from Naha in Okinawa prefecture. Tourists usually choose the more popular Aharen Beach on the other side of the island which makes Tokashiku a calm and uncrowded place. The coastline is about 800 m long, covered in white sand, with crystal clear light blue water. The beach is safe for people of all ages as there are no high waves or underwater currents in this part of the island. Tokashiku is a real gem on the shore of East China Sea.

When is the best time to go?
If in the north of Japan, in Hokkaido, the weather in January-February is quite wintery, in the southern islands the temperature rarely drops below 20 degrees even in the cold season. In summer, the rainy season comes in Japan, when the humidity becomes almost one hundred percent, and the thermometer is at 30 to 40 degrees. Therefore, the best time to travel to Japan – is late spring or early autumn.
