Enoura Beach

Habushi-Iwa (Japan Heritage Listed)

The water here is almost always calm. It's also fairly shallow so it's easy to keep tabs on your little ones, making it perfect for a day at the beach with the family.

If you visit during the weekend you can always get some pizza from Minatono Pizza or some Pasta from Ethical Garden.

Why not visit the Japanese Heritage Listed, Habushi-Iwa Lighthouse Oil shelter while you are here. It's just a short walk from the beach.




Only a 50 metre walk from the Habushi-Iwa Oil Shelter is the wonderful Hiroshima Shrine. A wonderful calming area that always impresses.

After visiting the shrine, you can visit Frank Toovey Lake's grave. Frank Toovey Lake was a British sailor who died at the age of 19, in 1868. He was buried in Enoura and to this day, the islanders have maintained his gravesite. You can read more about this here.




Enoura is a beautiful village here on Sanuki Hiroshima Island. It's situated in a wonderful picturesque bay that is almost always calm and is perfect for relaxing and getting away from the pressures of everyday life.
