Futatsugame
A five-minute drive north along the coast from Onogame is an island named Futatsugame because it looks like two turtles perched on it.
This island, covered with green grass, is called Oki no Shima or Iso no Shima, and its scenery changes with the tide.
It is used as a bathing beach, and boasts the highest transparency of seawater on Sado Island.
Futatsugame Beach has been selected as one of the 100 best beaches in Japan.
