Kotobikihama Beach

A beach located in the Kyotango area famous for its “singing sand”.  Come check it out!

【 What’s required to make the sound? 】

1 A clean beach that contains “Quartz” in its sands and is surrounded by clean sea water

2 When the sand containing quartz is sufficiently washed by clean sea water, the friction coefficient increases drastically causing the sand to make a unique sound like singing.

【 How to make the Sound 】

1 Press down on the sand lightly with a bar from a height of five centimeters above the sand.

2 The sound cannot be made by mixing the sand around or pressing down on it strongly with a bar.

3 You can only make the sound two or three times with the same sand.

4 In order to preserve the sand, please do not push down on it more than three times.

【 Caution 】

1 Please do not dirty the sand or mix it with impurities.

2 Please do not touch the sand with bare hands.

3 Please follow the instructions given by our staff carefully, and… have fun!!
