Fukumitsu Beach

 


About one kilometer further on from Imaura Harbour, I reached the beach at Fukumitsu.


On a sunny day, when the sky is blue, the calm sea turquoise, and the beach golden, its quite pretty. Popular with surfers and local summer bathers.


On an overcast day in the aftermath of a storm, it's not so pretty.


Fukumotsu is not a fishuing village. It has no harbour. It's an agricultural village,farming the river valley that snakes up towards Ginzan. This was all land controlled directly by the Shogunate in Edo, and Fukumitsu would have been prosperous supplying food to the mine.
