Shiohigari 潮干狩り

We went to a beach near Hakkei-jima 八景島, known as Umi-no-koen 海の公園 (translated roughly into "park by the sea").


And there, we joined in the large crowd that was gathered during the low tide to pick clams. This is known as shiohigari (潮干狩り) in Japanese. The smaller ones are known as asari in Japanese. The two large ones were found by me!

Kites, again, are common here. And here is a shot of a kite flying low over the beach.

The kids... they really enjoyed their day at the beach!
