The 2009 photograph shows the lighthouse and Kandachime horses, without promising horse sightings now. The 2026 visiting season is planned through November 8, with closures on October 27 from 9–10 am and all day November 4. Check current operations, weather and gates; do not approach or feed horses.
Getting there Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
See remnants of hiba trees once buried by sand. Follow the public approach and on-site guidance. This does not imply free access to nearby dunes or training areas; stay out of restricted areas and private land.

Higashidōri soba is introduced as a local food using buckwheat grown in the village. Check each shop’s noodles, broth and toppings. A stated buckwheat proportion does not establish that other allergens are absent.
