It's hot, hot, ATSUI days, Atsuko here.

It’s hot, hot, ATSUI days, Atsuko here. My name is Atsuko, which means hot hearted or passionate, not hot.

Since it’s so hot, I’ll secretly tell you about my special, favorite beach that I have been going to every year for 20 years. It is 清流荘 Seiryu-so in Oyano, Amakusa. It’s like a private beach, right? https://www.google.com/travel/hotels/s/ij6bi2ZEVvw3fLsEA The beach house faces the ocean, so it is safe to go there even with a small baby. Last Sunday, there was a family with an 8-month-old baby. The good point of this place is that you can use one room (tatami room) for a group. We went with three people this time and we had one room. If there are a lot of people and not many reservations, you can use two rooms.

Adults 1000yen/day, elementary school students 700yen/day. (You can stay and order lunch also. You can bring your lunch and eat at there also.)It is only for rest, but it is convenient to use the shower, have lunch, rest, and take a nap for tired people, babies, the elderly, and drivers. We played, showered, ate lunch, played, showered, ate a snack, played, showered, changed clothes, and left. At high tide, you can jump off the diving board, and at low tide you can catch crabs, fish and hermit crabs in the tide pool. I recommend you to call for an appointment. The owner can only speak Japanese, but you should tell them the date and number of people. Every year I take my international friends there, so I am sure they will be friendly to you too. I also recommend you that you should visit there before OBON, middle August because you might meet jellyfish after OBON.

After visiting Amakusa, be sure to stop by the statue of Jinbee, one of One piece character, in Sumiyoshi Kaigan Park. It is recommended to go here at low tide. https://g.co/kgs/fpNhQq Enjoy Summer!! Trip minimum but Enjoy maximum(๑˃ᴗ˂)و♡
