A trip to the coast

Henrik had arranged a water rich Saturday for us. We packed the car and drove for 1½ hours until we reached the Pacific Ocean on the east coast of Japan.
Here we were in the densest populated city in Fukushima, in a place called Iwaki. The place is famous for its spas, its reasonably priced sashimi restaurants, its beach and an aquarium with numerous kinds of fish found in the Japanese waters.


We started off at the aquarium where a gigantic walrus, garden eels and jellyfish startled us the most. To see all these fish, we went hungry for… yes, fish, so we passed the local fish market where fresh squids hang everywhere and found our way to a seat in one of many sushi restaurants, where we had to leave an un emptied plate for the first time since we arrived in Japan behind, as the portions where huge.


The plan was next to head for the marine tower and then to take a walk along the beach. As we rolled into a parking lot, the weather got grumpy and it looked like it would start to drizzle any time soon. We found it better to stay in the car for…half an hour. We can say we in that way have become veeeery Japanese. Often we pass young couple chatting in cars, middle-aged woman eating their bento in the car, men emailing by phone in the car while the wife is shopping – or like we did, people who take a nice nap in the car.

Half an hour later we woke up only to find out it was still raining, so we decided to do another very Japanese thing. We went on a vending machine hunt, which lead us to 7-11 where we bought each a can (!) of nice hot coffee for us to enjoy in the car, before we headed home to Koriyama.
