Stretching an impressive 345 meters in circumference along the coast, this monumental sand artwork depicts a classic Edo-period Kan'ei Tsūhō coin. Though subtly oblong in shape, clever perspective engineering ensures it appears as a perfect circle when viewed from the observation deck atop Kotohiki Park. Local lore promises that gazing upon the giant coin grants a lifetime of financial health and prosperity, turning the site into a famous good-fortune power spot. Meticulously reshaped and maintained by hundreds of volunteers twice a year, the landmark offers a mesmerizing blend of folk history and sweeping coastal vistas.
