Why You Should Visit

A two-hour morning event on Ashiya's man-made Shio-Ashiya Beach that works as an easy way into beach sports. Everyone starts with a beach clean-up, then after the opening ceremony you can drop in and out of hands-on corners as you like: a treasure hunt in the sand, molkky, beach volleyball, beach soccer, beach flags, Shorinji Kempo and beach exercise. There are cheerleading and hula dance performances too, and taking part is free. It is a good way to try several beach activities at once, and a relaxed option for families who want the seaside after the summer crowds have gone.

FAQ

Is there a fee to take part?

No, taking part is free and no booking is needed. Just come to the beach on the day.

Can small children join in?

Most activities, such as the treasure hunt and molkky, work for preschoolers with a parent. It is sand underfoot, so shoes you can walk in easily or sandals you can slip off make it more comfortable.

What happens if it rains?

The venue is an open beach, so the event is cancelled in severe weather. The decision is announced by the morning of the event on the organisers' social media and the Ashiya Sports Association website.
