So, when you're in the mountains, and you have one day to go, and you want a relaxing day, what do you do? You go to the beach! So we looked on the map, and figured that the Sea of Japan was probably not far away.
So we drove the hour North, and reach the Sea. As it turned out, the point where the road met the sea was an industrial town of very little beauty. However, we drove a couple of minutes outside the main town, and found a spot where there seemed to be a few cars parked, so we parked up, ate our lunch (bought from the Kombini) and watched, and it was apparent that a few people were swimming. So, replete with kombini noodles, we put on our swimmers and headed to the beach. It was a pebbly beach, but the sea was really clear, and the temperature was lovely. We stayed in the water for about two hours - the kids had goggles and saw the most beautiful fish - yellow and black stripey ones, red and black fish, and many little brown ones. When the sun started to go down, we thought we'd better go, and headed out of the water.
We got back into Hakuba, and ate out in our fave restaurant again.
What a lovely holiday all round!
