[1][2] Kujūkuri Beach is a popular swimming and surfing destination for inhabitants of Greater Tokyo.

The actual length of the beach is approximately 66 km, making the original measurement by Minamoto no Yoritomo an accurate one.

[1] In the last days of World War II, the Allied forces planned to land on Kujūkuri Beach in Operation Coronet.

Japan's failure to complete the beach's defences on schedule contributed to Emperor Hirohito's decision to surrender.

[10] A northern species chum salmon returns to a river of the beach every year, the southernmost in Japan.

These tiny birds can be seen on most spring and autumn days following the ebb and flow of the waves at amazing speeds in search of food.
