Facing Tokyo Bay, Futtsu City in Chiba Prefecture bustles with beachgoers every summer. In 2026, major beaches around the city have expanded cashless payment support, making FuttsunPay, QR code payments, and e-money convenient options. This article introduces the best beaches in Futtsu and smart ways to enjoy them cashless.

Top 3 Beaches

1. Futtsu Coast

One of the prefecture’s most famous shallow beaches, ideal for families. Nearby restaurants and shops increasingly accept FuttsunPay. Parasol rentals and parking lots now support QR code payments as well.

2. Kanaya Beach

Located at the southwestern tip of the Boso Peninsula, known for its beautiful sunsets. Nearby inns and seafood restaurants accept cashless payments, and parking around Kanaya Port has added e-money support.

3. Minato Beach

A popular spot for surfing and windsurfing, drawing a younger crowd. Surf shops and cafes in the area accept PayPay and Rakuten Pay in addition to FuttsunPay.

Cashless Tips for the Beach

Charge your FuttsunPay app before heading to the beach to avoid carrying cash. Summer 2026 will feature point reward campaigns for FuttsunPay users at beachside shops. Using the app at beach houses and stalls earns bonus points over regular rates.

Cautions

Network congestion can occur at beach areas, so we recommend charging the app or saving payment code screenshots beforehand. Some small vendors may still be cash-only, so keeping a few thousand yen in cash as backup is wise.

Make the most of Futtsu’s growing cashless ecosystem and enjoy a comfortable summer at the beach in 2026.
