Cape Hachiman






Bronze statue of Yōjuin, a concubine of the daimyo Toyotomi Hideyoshi(1536-1598).



Situated in the city of Katsuura on the Southeast of Chiba Prefecture, Cape Hachiman takes its name from a mythological god of archery and war. 

During the Heian period (794-1185), it was a natural point of maritime defense.

Onjuku



Onjuku on the Pacific Coast of Chiba prefecture is very popular with surfers.


The statue Tsuki no Sabaku (Desert of the Moon) has been erected in the late 1960’s to commemorate a song inspired by this beach.

Here I am again ^^



After almost one year, here I am again on my blog.
I have many posts to publish as in December I started my fourth trip to Japan. That time the purpose was ...my wedding.

Now I'm back in Europe, but I miss this view from my husband's home in Katsuura, Chiba.
