Isso Beach
Set in a calm bay, Isso Beach is one of the safest swimming options for families with children on Yakushima. It even has a life guard from July to August, and both showers and toilets are nearby. The beach provides some of the best snorkeling and diving opportunities on the island. Many kinds of fish and turtles can be seen during the summer months.
On the right coastal side stands the red torii gate of Hachiman Shrine, dedicated to the god of warriors. On a clear day from here visitors can see the small island of Satsuma Iojima.
