This is SunaMushi. A hot spring under this sandy ocean beach keeps the sand piping hot just under the surface. You lay in a shallow hole and are covered in sand.

The Kamada family took us to lunch at a famous local restaurant. If you see Cindy ask her how it worked.
Melons. If you zoom and look closely you can see the prices. The least expensive being 5250 Yen, the most desirable being 16800 Yen. To figure out the dollar amount just move the decimal left two places.There are normally prices melons in Japan but these are grown with perfectly homogeneous patterns and are given as gifts to show status.
