    The name Jodogahama was given about 300 years ago by Reikyo, the seventh head priest of Joanji Temple in Mt. Miyako, who exclaimed, ``It's just like the Pure Land of Paradise.'' In 2001, it was selected as one of the top 100 scented landscapes, and in 2006, it was selected as one of Japan's 100 best bathing beaches, specially selected by the sea section.
