Japan's Uyuni Salt Flats?! Breathtaking Location Photos at Chichibugahama in Kagawa Prefecture ♡

Dreaming of Wedding Photos at Salar de Uyuni ♡

On the other side of the Earth, Bolivia's Salar de Uyuni is a place you must visit at least once in your life ♡

The vast salt flat flooded, reflecting the sky like a mirror, creating a scene known as a "miracle scenery" ♩

Many people secretly long to take wedding photos in such a wonderful place, don't you think?

However, it takes nearly 24 hours by plane to reach Bolivia. Doing a pre-shoot or post-shoot at Salar de Uyuni isn't very realistic, is it?

Is there a place being called "Japan's Salar de Uyuni"?

There’s a place that those who long for location photos in a fantastic setting like Salar de Uyuni should definitely know about!

That place is Chichibugahama in Mitoyo City, Kagawa Prefecture.

Look at this photo. The silhouette of a couple gazing at each other in the setting sun creates a romantic image.

This is indeed a photo taken at Chichibugahama ♡

Chichibugahama is a long beach about 1 km long and has been selected as one of the "Best 100 Sunsets in Japan."

It’s easily accessible, as it takes about 20 minutes by bus from JR Yosan Line's Tachikawa Station.

In the shallow Chichibugahama, tidal pools appear here and there during low tide. Those tidal pools reflect the sky and people like a mirror, allowing you to capture pictures that resemble those taken at Salar de Uyuni ♡

Increasing number of tourists, becoming a popular spot ♡

About two years ago, a photo taken at Chichibugahama won an award at a photo exhibition held by Kagawa Prefecture’s tourism association, which increased its popularity.

Visitors to Chichibugahama began posting photos on Instagram, gradually increasing the number of tourists!

Now it is said to be a very popular scenic spot in Kagawa Prefecture.

Couples Actually Taking Wedding Photos ♡

There are also couples capturing location photos at Chichibugahama ♡

This couple took wedding photos at the real Salar de Uyuni, and a few years later, they took family photos in the same pose at Chichibugahama ♡ That is so lovely, isn’t it?

The photos at Chichibugahama are just as beautiful as the wedding photos taken at Salar de Uyuni!

Newlywed couples who held their wedding in Kagawa took wedding photos with their friends at Chichibugahama ♡

A picture taken alongside close friends will become a lifelong treasure.

Recommended Time is Around Sunset!

The recommended time for photo shoots at Chichibugahama is around sunset when the beautiful sunset is reflected in the tidal pools.

You can take romantic wedding photos under the sky dyed pink and orange.

During sunset, the subjects become black silhouettes, creating a fantastical atmosphere. It’s good to think about what poses to take.

To achieve a composition like that of Salar de Uyuni, you'll need to bring the camera very close to the water's surface, making self-shooting a bit difficult.

If you want to preserve the photos well, it is recommended to go with friends to take photos or hire a photographer.
