I should be working not blogging – just this little point: Everyone who is not yet convinced that Tokyo has a lot going for it – please make sure that a full blown beach resort is located just 50 minutes on the local train from the centre (780 yen = ca. 4 pounds, 6 euro).
Kamakura (not Karakuma, as I claimed earlier) is not the most beautiful of beaches (compared to, lets say, Canary Islands, the Caribbean, California, Italy, France or any other beach holiday destination…). It is a bit dirty, a bit crowded, the sand is not so nice, there are no waves. But: it definitely does the job! It is warm (as opposed to Brighton beach), you can swim (bonus: no issues leaving your valuables with your towels if you go for a swim – this is Japan!), you can lie around lazing, there are beautiful people all around you, and chill-out beach bars and restaurants, playing raggae and holiday island tunes. What better way to spend a sunday or saturday afternoon?
Also, I heard there are more picturesque beaches close by…
