Surfers, gorgeous sunsets and flocks of seagulls flying over the pine-covered Hasegi-island in the distance – taking in breathtaking views like this is just one of the reasons why you’ll want to take a weekend stroll along Torii Beach, Takahama. Another reason is to seek out one of the best pizza joints on the shores of Japan – Lefty’s New York Pizza.

Lefty’s opened in 2021 in a former cafe.
