About this place
Sunayama Beach is on the north-west coast of Miyako Island, in the Hirara area, reached by climbing over a sand dune, the sand mountain of its name. It is best known for a rock arch carved by the waves.
The mapcode points at the free car park behind the dune, which also has changing rooms, showers and toilets; from there you walk over the sand to the beach. The arch itself has been fenced off since 2018 because of the risk of rockfall. There are no lifeguards, so swim with care.
Need a mapcode for somewhere else?
This site covers 167 places. Your hotel, the rental return lot and the restaurant you booked need mapcodes too, and they are not on this list. The app converts any Japanese address or place name, in English, Korean, Chinese or Japanese. Free.
How to enter this in your car navigation
- On the navigation home screen, choose Destination (目的地).
- Choose Mapcode (マップコード) from the search methods.
- Type the digits, then the asterisk and the last two digits.
- Confirm the map preview shows the right area before you set the route.
Most Japanese rental cars (Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Times, Orix) accept mapcodes. Some older units ignore the *nn suffix. That is fine, because it only refines the pin.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the mapcode for Sunayama Beach?
- The mapcode is 310 573 894*36, pointing at a spot in 沖縄県. Written as decimal degrees the same point is 24.837392, 125.280079. A navigation unit takes the mapcode in far fewer keystrokes than the coordinates, so enter the code.
- What is a mapcode?
- A mapcode is a short numeric code that identifies a spot in Japan, developed by Denso. Japanese car navigation systems accept it directly, which avoids typing a Japanese address on a Japanese keyboard.
- How do I enter a mapcode in a Japanese rental car?
- On the navigation unit choose Destination (目的地), then Mapcode (マップコード), then type the digits. The two digits after the asterisk are an optional precision suffix; older units simply ignore them.
- What do the digits after the asterisk mean?
- They are a high-resolution suffix that narrows the point to roughly a few metres. Without them the code still resolves, just to a slightly wider area.
