    Kotohiki-hama (The Singing Sand Beach)


    Kotohiki-hama Beach is a 1.8km long white sandy beach with green pine trees. The beach is famous for the peculiar sound its sands make;
    if you walk on the beach by scuffing your feet on the sand, the sand makes a squeaking sound said to be similar to the sound of the koto, a
    kind of Japanese harp. The beach takes its name from koto, hiki, meaning to play, and hama, meaning beach. A certain area of the beach
    is also known as the Taiko-hama, as the sands give off drum-like sounds when scuffed (from taiko, meaning drum).
