Kirara Beach is located in Taki, Taki-cho, Izumo City, and is attractive for its easy accessibility; you can reach the beach by descending the stairs from the Kirara Taki roadside station. On clear days, you can enjoy the view of the sun setting over the horizon and painting the sea surface crimson red, a view that has been selected as one of the "100 Best Sunsets in Japan."

In the summer, it is open as a swimming beach, and the shallow, clear waters are popular with families. Lifeguards watch over the beach mainly on weekends, and it is equipped with hot showers, changing rooms, foot washing areas, and toilets.

At the direct sales store at the Kirara Taki roadside station, you can purchase fresh and processed Taki figs, a specialty product of Taki-cho, as well as locally caught seafood and mountain produce. The facility also has a terrace where you can relax while watching the sunset, and a restaurant that serves seafood bowls and ramen made with local ingredients, so visitors can enjoy the seasonal flavors of Izumo. Please note that the specific menu composition changes depending on the season and day of the week, so please check the official website before visiting to see if the seafood bowl or "Shimane Wagyu hamburger" is available.

Kirara Beach is a complex tourist spot that combines a spectacular sunset, swimming, and dining and shopping at the roadside station. It is a must-visit spot for sightseeing in Izumo, not only as a stop-off spot for a drive, but also as a leisure spot that you can enjoy all day.

The scenery around Kumura Beach, which is just a few minutes by car, is also wonderful.

[Trivia]

- The water quality has been maintained at an AA rank (all items were AA in the most recent beach water quality survey), so you can swim safely.

- Dolphins can sometimes be seen migrating offshore, and you may be able to see them swimming near the surface (although this is not guaranteed).

[Hidden Spot Information]
There is an observation space on the second floor of the Kirara Taki roadside station, where you can see the Sea of ​​Japan while feeling the sea breeze. The sunset viewed from here has a different charm. Additionally, the "KIRARA Monument" located on the roadside station grounds is a popular photogenic spot with the sunset in the background.
