Jogodohama Beach

By the time we reached Jogodahama Beach, the sun came out and we enjoyed a sunny hike.

I was surprised to see signs warning of bears, and delighted to see swan shaped paddle boats by the shore.

Tsunami evacuation signs were a somber reminder of the black wave that swept through Miyako in 2011, devastating the city and causing a partial meltdown at Fukushima. A seaside memorial commemorated the many victims of that tragedy.Weiterlesen
