Our guide
Sabishiro Beach is a recreational beach in the city of Misawa, Aomori. It is known as the place from which the Miss Veedol took off in 1931 to make the first non-stop flight across the Pacific; five planes attempted the crossing from here between 1930 and 1932, as the long, flat shore of firm sand and clay suited a runway. The runway is gone, but an observation tower still overlooks the beach and the pine forest beside it, next to a replica of the Miss Veedol marking the flight. In 1987 the beach was listed among Japan's 100 best white-sand and pine beaches.

What this place is
Sabishiro Beach (淋代海岸, sabishirokaigan) is a recreational beach in Misawa, Aomori, Japan. The beach is known for being the site where the Miss Veedol departed from to become the first plane to complete a non-stop flight across the Pacific Ocean. Between 1930 and 1932 five planes attempted the journey. The long, flat shoreline composed of a stable mixture of sand and clay was well suited for developing a runway for such attempts. The runway no longer exists, although the observation tower still stands, providing the public an overlook of the beach and adjacent pine forest. Besides the observation tower is a statue replica of the Miss Veedol commemorating its 1931 flight. In 1987, a now-defunct organization devoted to the preservation of pinelands in Japan listed Sabishiro Beach as one of the 100 best white sands and pine forest beaches in Japan.
