Enjoy a day of marine sports with your family at Sennan Satoumi Park! SUP, tandem bicycles, and playground equipment.

Misaki Town, located at the southernmost tip of Osaka Prefecture, is a town blessed with tourist resources that utilize its beaches and port areas. Among these, Sennan Satoumi Park, adjacent to Pichi Pichi Beach and Tokimeki Beach, is popular as a facility where you can enjoy swimming, marine sports, and giant athletic play equipment. It is also famous for being the only permanent beach volleyball stadium in Japan with spectator seating, Shiosai Bibare.

This seaside park, which offers a panoramic view of Osaka Bay, is full of play areas that children will love, including a vast sandy beach and a playground. NORI & ICHINA, popular influencers known for their parent-child coordination, who live nearby and often come to play by car, will introduce the charms of Sennan Satoumi Park.

Enjoy free rentals and marine sports at Sennan Satoumi Park

The nearest stations to Sennan Satoumi Park are Hakotsukuri Station and Tannowa Station on the Nankai Main Line.

The management office located inside Shiosai Valley has a wide range of outdoor sports equipment available for rental, so you can come and enjoy the activity empty-handed.

Beach rally! Exciting volleyball for parents and children

While you must make a reservation to use the volleyball courts at Shiosai Valley, there are also eight beach volleyball courts on the beach that are open to the public. This time, let's rent a volleyball and have some fun.

Even beginners and those who can't swim can enjoy it.

Next, we tried SUP. SUP is an abbreviation for "Stand Up Paddleboard." It's a marine sport where you stand on a special board and paddle across the water, making it easy to enjoy even for beginners and those who can't swim.

Change at the management office and get ready to go! You can also rent the required life jackets and helmets.

"Dad, there's a plane flying!" You can see planes across the sea. The hotel is located close to Kansai International Airport, the international gateway to the Kansai region. What a beautiful view! Apparently, you can even see Awaji Island on a clear day.

After SUP, you can return to the management office and take a shower.

Two people riding a tandem bicycle in perfect harmony

Among the rental items available are tandem bicycles for two people.

Tandem bicycles are bicycles in which multiple people ride side by side, one in front and one behind, and move simultaneously. Because two people pedal together, even those with visual impairments or those who are not confident in their physical strength can enjoy the exhilaration of riding through the air with their passengers. Tandem bicycles can be used without a reservation. Helmets are also available for rental.

Pedalling by two people together makes it easier to go faster than a regular bicycle, and it is used for a wide range of purposes, including sports, recreation, and transportation. This time we will be riding along the seaside. ICHINA says she is still practicing cycling. Will she be able to ride well?

Before I knew it, he was smiling and saying, "Yahoo! Cycling is fun!"

Tandem means "working together." Working together in such a pleasant location is sure to deepen the bond between parent and child.

Next, we went to the children's playground (Dolphin Amusement Park), where children can play on dolphin-themed play equipment. Dolphin Amusement Park has a long roller slide and a two-story combination playground where children can enjoy various activities, making it very popular with children!

ICHINA usually gets her photos taken by her mom, but on this day she was in a great mood as she was photographed by a photographer! Her debut as a model may be just around the corner.

The only downside to this fun spot might be that your kids might be reluctant to leave.

About a 10-minute walk east, you will find Octopus Park, which has octopus-themed slides, Tarzan ropes, swings, and other play equipment.

Enjoy food delivered directly from the fishing port

After having fun, we'll have lunch at the Misaki Yumedodai Roadside Station. This roadside station has a direct-from-farm market selling local agricultural and seafood products, a restaurant, and an observation terrace. From the top of the hill, you can get a panoramic view of Osaka Bay.

At Misaki Okanoue Shokudo, you can enjoy food delivered directly from the fishing port. Their specialty, the shirasu donburi, is a bowl of rice topped with fresh raw shirasu. Freshness is key, and you can only enjoy it here.

The Misaki Town Community Bus is a convenient way to access Sennan Satoumi Park. It is an important means of transportation connecting areas that are difficult to reach by train or regular bus, and has well-developed routes connecting various parts of town with major stations and public facilities.

If you want to take a bath on your way home, head to Misaki Town Health and Communication Center Piazza 5

If you want to take a bath on your way home, we recommend Piazza 5, located about a 17-minute drive from Sennan Satoumi Park. It's equipped with a high-temperature dry sauna, a Nordic-style mist sauna, and a cold bath. You'll be able to thoroughly soothe your tired body and head home refreshed. There are also other facilities on-site, such as a training room, bouldering gym, heated pool, campsite, and coworking space, so it's convenient to have a "second plan" in case your beach plans change.

Enjoy marine sports with your family

And before we knew it, it was 5pm. It was almost time to go home, but ICHINA still wanted to play. Misaki Town is rich in nature. What did you think of Sennan Satoumi Park, facing Osaka Bay? Being in contact with nature can also deepen family bonds. If you're interested in marine sports, why not start at Sennan Satoumi Park?
