Colorful Beach: The Sparkling Beauty of the "Glass Beach" Near Nagasaki Airport♡

Glass Beach ♡
Do you know about the Glass Beach located in Nagasaki Prefecture??
This place is famous for its beach scattered with colorful, vibrant glass sand ♡
Why is there glass in the sea? Is it not painful?
You might wonder if it's okay to have glass on a beach where many people walk barefoot...
This beach was originally a foul-smelling area due to the rampant growth of green algae. In 2016, Nagasaki Prefecture used recycled glass from waste to create this shallow area.
By laying down the recycled glass sand,
Clams settle and eat the plankton in the sea ➡ It has a purifying effect on seawater ➡ The water quality of Omura Bay improves
It seems this has led to significant positive effects on the surrounding environment ♡
The glass sand laid on the beach has its edges smoothed out, making it safe to touch ♩ (However, walking barefoot or swimming is prohibited)
Sparkling ♡ It might be nice to do a pre-wedding shoot here
The sun reflects off the glass, making Nagasaki's Glass Beach shine more beautifully than any other beach.
I thought it would be lovely to do a location pre-wedding shoot here ♡
On Instagram, there were many posts of friends and couples enjoying their time, but I also saw some newlyweds taking photos in their wedding dresses.
Being able to shoot at such a beautiful glass beach is a privilege that other beaches do not offer.
Honestly, I thought there wouldn't be much difference in the photos taken at beaches for pre-wedding shoots, but this place is clearly different.
A cute beach is the best ♡
I want to go♡
