Akita Port South Beach
You'll find this waterfront wedged between container cranes and the Omorigawa River mouth, where office workers shed their shoes during lunch breaks. The sand feels coarser than you expect, studded with tiny shells, and the tang of salt mixes with diesel from tugboats idling offshore.
