We drove east for about an hour to go to this river in Miyama yesterday - Gen-san says he stopped going to the beach because this place is so much better - it is probably the nicest spot to swim in that I have ever been to. That photo in the middle is a deep spot - the water there has to be 7 or 8 feet deep, and you can see right to the bottom. The water temperature was perfect and it was ridiculously clean - you cant really see from the photos how deep it is because its perfectly clear. The current is a little strong in some places, but not dangerous - made it more fun to swim in. The last photo is a holy tree/shrine right across the street from the nearest convenience store.
Sorry about the lack of apostrophes - I cant find them on this keyboard!

  1. I thought that water had to be ankle deep - I can't believe it's that deep! How beautiful.

    Tell more about the farm you're working at - what kind of work are you doing every day, what's your daily routine, what are your accommodations and meals like, who else is working there with you?

  2. Sounds like you're having a good time. The photos are amazing. I'm glad you were able to make it out there.
