Selecting the south and north coasts of Futtsu cuspate foreland with high and low incident waves, respectively, as the study sites, the relationship between the change in coastal vegetation zones and wave height was investigated. Although vegetations of several species were found on south and north coasts, the vegetation of high probability of occurrence distributed in the vegetation zone with the same elevation. On the south coast, annual grass growing along the front line of the zonation was not confirmed and the perennial grew from the front line of the vegetation zone. On the north coast, clear zonation was found with the growth of digitaria ciliaris and growth of the perennial and low trees. The wave height on the north coast was approximately 30 cm lower than that on the south coast, so the coastal environment in which one-year grass can grow was maintained.
