Today Ian and I took the train to the Sendai Airport and then walked over to the ocean. The waves were up and it reminded my of Cape Cod - wide sandy beach with good waves and then inland a forest of scrub pine. There were people fishing with lines going out at least 50 meters. We did not see any evidence that the fish were biting but people seemed to be enjoying sitting there.
After we had walked about 5 km we came to the Natori River. After the river breaks through the row of dunes behind the beach, there is a large bay-like area. The above picture was taken from where we took a 10 minute rest and ate and drank a little. We crossed a bridge that is off to the right of this picture and then crossed another bridge that took us to the north shore of Natori River. There was a paved bicycling path that we walked on all the way to a subway station, where we caught a train back to Sendai Station, eating there and separating.
As we walked along the north shore of Natori River we came to an area where they were clamming both by boat and on foot in the shallows. These are pictures of some of the clammers.
