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!!
