kokodoko 67 Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 Yesterday I caught the train to Ranshima just to have a look at a beach with snow covering it. Ranshima is about halfway between Kutchan and Otaru, in Hokkaido. The place was pretty much deserted but would be nice in the summer time for a swim. There were some hollow tubes but the sets were only about a foot. Ranshima Beach looking south. Ranshima Beach looking north.

kokodoko 67 Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 Yeah the beach had about half a meter of snow on it. I had to find a track to get down to the sand. Only no snow where the tide had come up. Link to post Share on other sites
