This beach/bathing resort was completed in Heisei 12 (2000). To date, it is one of the longest beaches in Northwestern Hokkaido. The beach is visited by hundreds of people during summer which is around July - August.

Golden Beach Rumoi is the venue for the Auto-Camper Festival which draws campers from throughout Japan. Before the COVID Pandemic, the Sea of Japan Cup Beach Volleyball Tournament was also held here in early July.

The best time to visit Golden Beach Rumoi is from July to mid-August. However, remember that this is the busiest time of the year as plenty of people from different parts of Hokkaido would usually flock here as it is also the swimming season. During this time, a fireworks display is held on the beach every Saturday at 8PM.

The first time I visited Golden Beach Rumoi was on November 14, 2021 (Sunday). It was my 2nd weekend as an ALT here in Rumoi City. Since November is already part of the winter season, the beach was void of any swimmers.

In the Philippines, when you say beach, the first thing that comes to the minds of most Filipinos are the sun, humidity, and crowds of people but that is not the case here in Golden Beach Rumoi. Summers here are short and most of the time it's windy. When I say windy, this is characterized as chilly and usually strong winds.

Despite this, I still enjoyed Golden Beach Rumoi, as a matter of fact, I tried biking from one end of the beach to the other to try out my GoPro and my Relive App. Overall, since I'm now living around 30 minutes away, I plan to visit the beach and see what it looks like during each season. 

Golden Beach Rumoi Fees

It's FREE to enter and explore Golden Beach Rumoi. However, you need to pay the parking fee of 600 yen during the swimming season. There are places that you can rent to pitch your tent.
