Onaura is a scenic spot on the west coast of Katsuura Bay, known for its naturally formed arch in the rocks. Located near the JR Ubara Station (about a 30-minute walk via Katsuura Kaihin Park), this small cove offers a tranquil escape. Visitors can enjoy the unique rock formations and the serene atmosphere of the beach. Note that parking is limited, especially outside of the swimming season. The best time to visit is on a cloudy day to avoid harsh backlighting when photographing the arch. This hidden gem is perfect for a quiet stroll and appreciating the natural beauty of the Katsuura coastline.
