ONE OF THE BEST PHOTOS OF THE JAPANESE COAST I HAVE SEEN. WHILE I WAS IN JAPAN IN THE EARLY 60S, THE COAST WAS NOT NEARLY AS ACCESSIBLE AS IT SEEMS TO BE TODAY. THERE WAS AN INCIDENT WHEN THE YOUNG LADY I WAS WITH WAS STUNG BY A JELLY FISH, THUS THE TRIP TO THE BEACH ENDED WITH MORE THAN A BIT OF PAIN. THANKFULLY, SHE WAS WELL IN A FEW DAYS. I LOVE JAPAN AND IF I GET THE CHANCE, I WILL VISIT THE COAST A BIT MORE. THANKS TO MARI-TEN WHO SHOT THIS FANTASTIC COASTAL PHOTO......
