[Kugenuma Kaigan] Summer Beach Outing
Originally uploaded by scion_cho

My first experience on a beach in Japan. Summer season in Japan really is hot and so lots of people hit the beach or go to resorts to cool off. The place we went to (Kugenuma Kaigan) has got nice mellow waves; thus, bodyboarding became the main activity for beachgoers especially for kids and surfing newbies.

Beaches here in Japan aren't that much striking as compared to those in the Philippines (with white sands, blue waters, etc...). Perhaps Okinawa would be an exception though, since I've already seen pictures of some of its beaches.

I've actually never been to the popular beaches in the Philippines (Boracay, Subic, etc). I was hoping I could hit the beaches this December when I come home, but it turned out I have no extra time and company to go with. Maybe next year. *sigh*
