Today’s low tide (daytime)
12:45頃
24-hour clock
"Spring tide x low tide x no wind" is the best timing. Just before the end of the tide and with a windless day, the level of "reflection" increases. When dusk and low tide overlap, the setting sun shines dramatically on the sandy beach, and when low tide overlaps during the day, the blue sky and clouds tend to shine and become a pop art style of “Fukutsu Sea Mirror”. Variations are created since the appearance changes depending on the weather and time of day, so please refer to the expected tide table and come visit the coast of Fukutsu.

-
- Check the timing on the tide table
- The ebb and flow of the tide is important for the "“Fukutsu Sea Mirror”". Let's check the "best time to see" (low tide of the spring tide is key indication) on the expected tide table on the website. By the way, if there is no wind, the degree of "reflection" will increase.
-
- Take the picture from a low angle!
- It is recommended to hold your camera or smartphone near the ground. The closer you are to the ground, the better the reflection will be. Be sure to compare the difference between what you take at your own eye level and what you take near the ground!
- ※The model reflects cleanly when standing at the edge of the tide pool.
-
- Tips for good poses, clothes, and accessorie
- Be creative about poses such as standing quietly, synchronizing movements with your friends, and jumping vigorously. Use colorful clothes and accessories (umbrellas, hats, scarves, etc.) to make them even more photogenic!
- Find a tide pool on the beach
- If you find a tide pool with a little seawater left on the beach, you are lucky! There is a high possibility that you can take a picture of the "Fukutsu Sea Mirror" as if you were in the sky.
- If you cannot find the tide pool, that’s okay!
- The beaches of Fukutsu are white sand with few irregularities and are very flat, so wet sandy beaches reflect the sky well. It's easier to shoot because it's less affected by the wind than the tide pool!
