Reflection Beach
Tourist attraction
👍 綺麗な砂浜ですね。駐車場には公衆トイレもあり、行った時は(4月中旬)サーファーで賑わっていました。
リフレクションの写真を撮りに行ったのですが、適した時間、潮の満ち引き、季節があるのでしょう。なかなか良い条件にならず上手く撮れなかったのは残念でした。

Museum of Bakumatsu and Meiji History
Local history museum
👍 「労多くして功少なし」幕末に散々の人的被害を出し、多額の借金を抱えてまでの近代化もほとんど顧みられることなく忘れられ、かと言って会津藩のように悲劇として語り継がれる訳でもない、可哀想な水戸藩に少しは光を当ててあげましょうという愛の施設です。(笑)

Oarai Ocean Museum
Maritime museum
😐 As an exhibition, it feels like a curiosity museum by the sea.

She seems to be a cousin of Eguchi Masas...
