Little beach trip before Obon
Next trip of the summer will be 2 days in the Shimane prefecture, enjoying the beach on the Sea of Japan and a nice ryokan in an onsen town. Once again, the schedule will be very tight: I'll leave Tokyo Monday evening, meet my girlfriend as she leaves from work and spend the night in Hiroshima. Then we'll take a 2 hour bus ride on Tuesday morning through the 中国山地 to the other side of the island on the 日本海.
There we'll enjoy a nice day at the beach. My girlfriend has been there a couple of times and assures me the beaches are beautiful. Since 島根県 is the second least populated prefecture of Japan, I hope overcrowding will not be a problem.

We'll then spend a night in a very nice ryokan, once again with a 露天風呂 in the room before heading back to Hiroshima where I'll take the plane back to Tokyo and my dull job...

yeah, well when you only have very short vacations, you can afford to drop the cash for a nice hotel
that and I’m not a student anymore, now that I earn a living for myself, I want to live the good life…
