Detailed Review
Torii Beach is located
on Torii Station Army
Base on the beautiful
Yomitan Peninsula.
Torii Beach is well-kept
and has great views.
The reefs are shallow
and very close to shore
(easier on the kiddos).
Since the waves are
generally very mild,
this also makes for an
excellent snorkeling
location.
The wind can pick up
though offshore, so you
will often see kiteboarders here as
well.
Torii Beach is quiet
in the winter months -
great time to visit for sea-glass
collecting and just
relaxing. Late
spring thru early fall
brings the opening of
the water slide area and Armed Forces
Radio, which often plays on the
P.A. system. The sand
volleyball courts pick
up action as well.
Torii Scuba locker is
busy enough during
summertime to install a
turnstile. Check
out Torii Scuba Locker
here.
Torii Scuba Locker
arranges
diving with the whale
sharks
as
well.
Torii Beach
additionally offers
four camping areas, each
equipped with bathrooms and grills, as well as
pavilion rentals (see
slideshow
for pictures
of both). For
reservations call Torii MWR. Alternatively, you
may find more information on the cabins
here.

Directions
Head north on Highway 58
(from both Kadena AB &
Camp Foster). Go
through the Kadena
circle and continue
north on 58. Watch
the blue highway signs
for Highway 6 (white
signs will also indicate
"Cape Zanpa").
Turn left on highway
6....Torii Station is
about 4 km ahead on your
left (you will see the
tell-tale military fence
and then see a large red
Torii gate at the main
entrance).
