Hime-no-hama Beach

Legend has it that Princess Yamatohime-no-Mikoto visited Sakatejima after establishing Ise Jingu Grand Shrine more than 2,000 years ago. As Hime-no-hama beach is believed to have been one of her favorite spots, seafood gathered from its waters has long been prepared for the shrine as a religious offering. The beach is located down the steps from the former Sakate Elementary School. The school’s old athletic field now provides an overlook with beautiful views of the sea and village below.
