I love going to the beach with friends. Daniel, standing in the middle, is William's age. He also beats William's record for youngest American to climb Mt. Fuji (Gavin Odem is internet-claimed so at 6 years, 17 days). Regardless, William loves to dig at the beach, and any time he can do it with friends is great.
The parking is underground, under sea level, and expensive. But, it has easy access to the beach here. That puff of clouds to the left is where Fuji should be. BTW, we parked next to a Maserati. 'Be careful opening the door kids, we don't want to give it any door dings!'
You can rent an umbrella. The guys come out with a little auger and drill a hole and put it in for you.
We had our own 'shade.' Doin' it 'white trash' style! :) Hey, the kids weren't going to stay under it, anyway! Juli's got the baby protected!
William and his 'holes' that he likes to protect from the encroaching surf.
In the summer, the beach shacks get put up. Most are alcohol, but the umbrella guys do just fine. Across the street is a convenience store, so it is easy to get non-alcoholic drinks for a reasonable price.
There is some surf, but not great sets. It is amazing what Japanese people can get up and surf on!
We were near the river where it comes into the ocean. This became a favorite fishing spot. This fish didn't make it to the fry pan...
These tiny fish might have been shirasu, a very small fish they eat here, and harvest nearby! We didn't eat them, either!
It was a fun day with the 9 of us. Yes, we put us all in one 8-passenger car. Hey, at these parking prices, it was worth it! :)
