Minami

Minami is best known within Japan for Ohama Beach, a significant nesting ground for loggerhead sea turtles. On the Pacific coast of southeastern Shikoku, this small town in Tokushima Prefecture combines an indented shoreline with wooded hills and the quieter pace of rural Japan. The beach is protected as a natural monument, and summer turtle arrivals have made it a focus of local conservation. Inland, Yakuō-ji Temple is the 23rd stop on the 88-temple Shikoku Pilgrimage, linking Minami to one of Japan’s best-known Buddhist routes. Fishing communities and coastal roads reinforce the town’s maritime character. View additional webcams nearby to better understand how Minami relates to southern Tokushima and the Pacific coast.
