Chirihama Nagisa Driveway

ちょうぐんとう via Google Maps

Stretching along the Sea of Japan at the western gateway to the Noto Peninsula, the Chirihama Nagisa Driveway is one of Japan's most extraordinary coastal drives. Tightly compacted sand forms a firm natural highway that welcomes private cars, motorcycles, and bicycles right beside the lapping waves. Completely free to enter and operating with two-way traffic, it allows drivers to roll down their windows and bask in the sea breeze. It is especially breathtaking during sunset, making it an essential stop for any coastal road trip.
