If you google up about towns or villages by the sea in Japan, the result is sadly about the March 11 tsunami. A sad reminder of the tragedy that we should never forget.
Fishing villages overlooking Sea of Japan
Port city of Kitakyushu, if I'm not wrong.
I can't wait to visit quaint fishing villages by the coastal area of Seto Inland Sea. A visit to a smaller island too, perhaps? ^^
There are lots of great coastal villages in Japan. Some of my favourite are in Mie Prefecture such as Shima and Toba.

It is a tragedy never to be forgotten but looking at the coastal parts of Japan, you can see how peaceful it looks. I love it but the sound of the sea especially at night does creep me out. So you're definitely going to Japan soon? Biler?
ReplyDelete@Japan Australia,
ReplyDeleteI should go and visit Mie prefecture and see for myself someday. :)
@cuteandcurls,
ReplyDeleteFlying off on Nov 29. :)
Nak ikut? Jom. ^^
You like everwhere in Japan. Thank you very much!
ReplyDelete@minor,
ReplyDeleteYes, I sure do. :)
Thank you for sharing.As you say, we should never forget that day.
ReplyDelete@cocomino,
ReplyDeleteWe should not forget and we should learn from the incident. And still lend a helping hand to those still grappling to lead a normal life after the earthquake. Right?
That's right.:)
ReplyDeleteWhen are u leaving to Japan? End of this year, hv a safe journey and enjoy my friend!^^
ReplyDelete@cocomino,
ReplyDelete:)
@Alice,
Thanks. It'll be a few more months before we go on our holiday. :)
It is a tragedy that keeps on being sad for so many people.
ReplyDeleteI never knew that there was an inland sea in Japan.
The place so cool and calm. Jepun pergi kah Nov 29?
ReplyDeleteThe last picture looks nice! So foggy!
ReplyDeleteSo these villages here all gone because of the tsunami? How sad!
ReplyDelete@Jenny,
ReplyDeleteIta a body of water separating 3 of the main islands of Japan - Shikoku, Honshu and Kyushu. :)
@Bananazஇ,
ReplyDeleteYup, Flying off on Nov 29, arriving back to KL on Dec 14. :)
@ristinw,
ReplyDeleteIt was raining when that photo was taken. ^^
@foong,
ReplyDeleteNot these villages lah. It either located on the opposite coast or too far down south as the poor villages that got wiped out by the tsunami.
Itll be totally heartbreaking for me if I did visit those villages and knowing they are no more. :(
If you come by Shikoku, do drop by Takamatsu... shall be happy to show you our rather 'messy' potager... the fishing villages around are really lovely to see...
ReplyDelete@Lrong,
ReplyDeleteWill definitely will. Thanks for the offer. If you need some inexperienced hand to doo some weeding, Id be happy to obliged. :)
Isssshhhhh, im so envious of you..i havent travelled for yoinks now ...as in really travel. my travel boots, flip flops, bags are collecting dusts hehe ..of course i nak ikut hehe maybe next time eh in the meantime i can only travel with you through your camera lenses ..i cant wait for your Japan travelogue
ReplyDelete@cuteandcurls,
ReplyDeleteHa! Nanti travel with little baby too. I always feel that traveling with a child helps break the ice with people. :)
I agree with you. I remember you blogged about this before too but i feel the same way as you do. Kekadang when travelling as a couple you dont actually socialise more with other travellers compare to family :)
ReplyDelete@cuteandcurls,
ReplyDeleteKan? :)
Oh! Glad to hear that! : )
ReplyDeleteI had missed this post.
