Beachcombing at Inage Seaside Park

Collect seashells and Do-It-Yourself activities

Do you like beachcombing and seashell do-it-yourself activities? Inage Seaside Park is my favorite spot to go beach combing.

Inage Seaside Park is a popular spot for barbeque and windsurfing activities. It's a relatively silent location compared to the Makuhari side, which sees large number of crowds.

The park is also famous for beautiful sunsets and calm waves. Go on a clear day to get some decent views of the Tokyo coastline.

Sparse crowds make it a great spot for beach-combing activities. The sea shells are less trampled upon by visitors and you can collect a lot of varieties on the coastline.

If you are into beachcombing arrive around early morning for the best shell selection

I have been into seashell art since childhood - nature provides you with a beautiful white canvas to do your activity on.

I painted a few on the weekend, one of which is the beach with the sailing boats and the other of a view of the Tokyo Skytree from the park at sunset time

To get this view on a camera, zoom in on the city skyline. I spotted Tokyo Skytree in the distance

Evening time boasts beautiful skies with the palm trees. It feels like the Caribbean.

There is also a flower park on the premises. Seasonal varieties can be enjoyed throughout the year

Strong winds at the park are suited for kite flying activities and we spotted this one high up in the air with cute pet figures stuck on its tail

Chiba Port Tower in the distance - a nice observation deck at the top with some great views of the shoreline

Want to avoid crowds at the Makuhari Beach Park in Chiba? Head out to Inage Seaside Park, a couple of kilometers from the previous location with a beautiful beach side pool, a flower museum, a barbeque spot and an awesome beach to do beach-combing activities.

If you are into collecting sea shells and enjoying some do-it-yourself activity with them, Inage Seaside Park is a perfect location close by Tokyo, with beautiful views of the city skyline. I always collect sea shells at every city I have traveled to across the globe (provided it has a coastline), and I use nature's canvas to do some fun activity like shell painting.

Visit early in the mornings if you want to collect sea shells or you come on a visit in the evening for a beautiful sunset view. Abundant and reasonably priced parking spaces are available. With all the needful amenities for a family outing, the park is a great outdoor day-long activity destination.

The park is also a popular point to view the Makuhari fireworks, although it gets quite packed on the day of the fireworks in summer.
