Mihama Town is a small town at the western end of Hidaka District, facing the Kii Channel, and Enju-ga-hama, a white-sand beach with green pines, is a prefectural natural park. Cucumbers and tomatoes grown with compost from the pine forest have become brands, and whitebait and spiny lobster are also caught. Many people from the Mio area emigrated to Canada, and Cape Hinomisaki offers a grand view of the sea.
