Good evening. I am Ohshita from the Tourism Division. Today was a first for me in many ways. On the Mukozugu Peninsula in Aburaya.

TODOGUCHI

However, it is said that this is the place where Yang Kwei-Hui, one of the world's three most beautiful women, drifted ashore. I knew the information, but I had never actually been there. Then I had another first. I borrowed a single-lens reflex camera, which I had been shooting with a digital camera until then. I was trying various things while taking pictures, but, well, I couldn't get a good shot. I went back to the office and received various lectures from my seniors. I'm sorry for the long preamble, but here is the sunset at Karatoguchi, which I have photographed despite my inexperienced skills. DSC08531-640x432DSC08526-640x432↑The path is difficult to walk on, but you can go down to the beach. The sunset from here is also very spectacular, coming down toward the horizon. DSC08527-640x426DSC08552-300x200? DSC08563-300x200↑The coast around here is lined with craggy rocks, and while taking pictures of the beautiful sunset, I feel a sense of fantasy when I think about the fact that Yang Kwei-hui drifted ashore here. DSC08594-640x429DSC08603-640x426 DSC08608-640x426↑As I was doing so, the sun was setting. DSC08596-640x426DSC08596-2-640x426↑It seems that just before the sun sets over the horizon, something like this happens called the "Dharma phenomenon". It is quite a smart daruma... DSC08621-640x426So, these were poor photos, but it was the sunset at Karadoguchi. Please check out the blog that Mr. Yamauchi of the Convention Association introduced about this place before.

*As I was writing, I realized that I introduced this post exactly one year ago today and was surprised to see that you seemed to be drawn to this place!
