Jodogahama in Miyako City. It
is one of the attractions of Sanriku tourism.
My father's family home was
near Jodogahama, so I have memories of my uncle taking me there when I went to
visit my grandmother as a child.
I had always wanted to take a
walk on Jodogahama with Sachiki-san, but during the high season from April 1st
to October 31st, there are traffic restrictions and general vehicles cannot go
to the place that is famous in tourist posters, so I went this month when the
traffic restrictions were lifted.
We arrived at almost 3pm, so the shadow of the mountain reached to the peninsula.
We walked on the promenade
along the coast with Sachiki-san.
There were few people and no
trash on the ground, so I was able to enjoy the scenery with peace of mind.
During our regular walks, I always look at Sachiki-san and the ground around us
to make sure he doesn't pick up and eat trash (lol).
The gravel at Jodogahama is white, so the white dog doesn't stand out very much. It doesn't look good in photos (lol). That's partly because it's been a while since Sachiki-san's last shampoo, and he's little dirty (lol).
