In the summer of 2006, we took a short vacation to the Tango-Hanto peninsula at the top end of Kyoto prefecture. We had obtained a booking for a few days at a ryoukan in Amino, directly across from the main beach. The establishment was traditional, with tatami mats, low tables and futons, exactly how we wanted it. There was a fabulous ofuro, a rotenburo and an oversized plastic crab on the roof. Well, it was a region known for its seafood!
It was a nice and very doable trip, given that we were travelling with a baby. Tom could fall asleep anywhere. We could go to the beach(I especially remember the beautiful Kotobikki), or zip around the coast, dipping into little towns that did not appear to have changed in a hundred years.
The photos above give a little taste of our trip, that summer.
