Suma beach – Winter trip
Today we visited Suma beach. Many things could be said about this beach and the surroundings (Sumadera, Suma aquarium and many more) but today we gonna make mainly a photo trip so all the useful tips and information will have to wait for some other time (I started to work on a website just about such kind of stories but it is at too early stages of development right now).
It takes around 20 minutes to reach it from Sannomiya, Kobe or around 50 if you take the train from Umeda, Osaka (you must change the train from rapid to local at certain point as only local trains stop at Suma station). First tings first – the Suma station (a view toward Akashi – the first photo and a view toward Kobe – the second one):

And here is the video (it is taken from the station):
NB! There is no elevator on the side of the beach and the stairs are quite long and steep so if you have small kids with strollers just take the elevator on the other side of the station and walk around 100 meter just next to the railways direction Kobe. Sooner or later you will reach the passage:

And finnaly at Suma (or almost):
Akashi bridge in the distance:
And bushes in front:
A “karavane” of ships (a giant tanker in front):
More ships in the distance:
The neko-chan:
Believe it or not there are still surfers at Suma beach:
The rest of the gear is also there and ready for action:
The “Fishing Park” in the distance (it is really taken with big zoom). Behind is Awaji island:
More Akashi bridge:
The sun was going down:
Abandoned fishing boats (I wonder if this qualifies me for a haikyoist. Most probably not but I’ll still give it a shot:)):
We were not the only one collecting shells:
Documented even on video:
There are still fishermen around. On this construction they hang their fishing nets:
The sun was going down behind the clouds and Awaji island – time to go home (or rather local (Suma) ryokan:)):
