Many ships in Shirahama

060203ship001_1It was very strong windy today.

In the winter we sometimes have windy day like today.

Especially west wind is really strong. That’s why many ships come to Shirahama beach to wait this wind finish.

I heard that about 500 ships go through over Irozaki cape a day, it is very dangerous for these ships when the wind is strong.

In early evening we can see the beautiful scenery with the sunset and the ships turned on the light

We call these ships "Kazemachi-sen".

Can you see the island over these ships?

It is Izuooshima island. We can also see the lights of buildings in that island.

Would you like to see other photos of Kazemachi-sen?
