First-ever on the Sea of Japan side! Light Wave Project at Suishohama Beach
Step away from the bustle of everyday life and find a moment of calm at Suishohama Beach, celebrated as one of Japan’s Top 88 Beaches. We present the Sea of Japan’s inaugural "Light Wave Project at Suishohama."
Watch the sky shift from the moving gradations of the setting sun to an otherworldly shoreline where the special lighting system "Hololight" makes the waves glow blue. This sequence of artful moments gently awakens your senses and draws you into a space of wave sounds, sea breeze, and light. It is a truly mindful, healing time to center yourself in the here and now.
Regain inner calm and sink into the dreamlike art as Suishohama’s stunning sunset and the blue-lit waves combine to create a miraculously beautiful scene. Experience it for yourself.

Electric-propelled Sightseeing Boat (Mihama Town Lake Center)
This sightseeing boat operates on Mikata Five Lakes, a wetland registered under the Ramsar Convention, and uses no heavy oil or similar fuels to protect the environment.
Power generated by the facility’s solar panels is stored in onboard lithium-ion secondary batteries (about 300 kWh) to run the vessel. The boat is very quiet, and the leisurely 50-minute cruise across calm waters lets you enjoy the rich nature of Mikata Five Lakes.
The basic route departs from Lake Kugushi, passes through the Urami River, and circles Lake Suigetsu on an approximately 50-minute course. Onboard guides introduce points of interest and explain how the sightseeing boat works, making it a place for learning about nature and energy.
Operating Schedule
1st departure / 9:30–10:20 2nd departure / 10:45–11:35 3rd departure / 13:00–13:50 4th departure / 14:15–15:05 5th departure / 15:30–16:20
