Kirara Beach, Shimane

Kirara Beach, Shimane

Kirarahama or Kirara Beach is a recreational beach on the Sea of Japan in Shimane Prefecture, Japan, located in Taki-Chō (多伎町), one of the small cities merged into Izumo in 2005.

The name nihongo|Kirara|雲母| |"mica" or "isinglass," is similar to the Japanese sound effect "kirakira" used for something glittery. Kirara Beach glitters in the sunlight, fitting the appearance of mica.

Kirara Beach is the first beach to open in the San'in region in early June; kids' events are planned for the opening of the beach. The beach has clean water and offshore stacks of cement tetrapods to break the waves. Nearby is health spa and onsen, and an eatery with an all-you-can-eat "baikingu" buffet, whose dining area commands a view of the beach and the Sea of Japan.
