Futatsugame
二ツ亀
Two turtle-shaped islets in the sea east of Onogame. At low tide a sandbar connects them, and they are among the clearest swimming beaches on Sado.
Futatsugame lies near Washizaki at the northern tip of Sado. Two islets shaped like turtles crouching side by side rise from the sea, and at low tide a sandbar emerges so you can walk across. The surrounding water is exceptionally transparent. It is listed among Japan’s Hundred Best Swimming Beaches, and snorkeling is possible in summer. Take in the full view from the lookout at the parking lot, then follow the trail down to the shore, about 10 minutes. It is about 3 km from Onogame and is usually visited together with it. There is a campground nearby. Mainly for those traveling by car.
