During Song gi's last visit we rented bicycles from one of my students and rode on the Yasu bike trail. Yasu is about 20 minutes from downtown Kochi. The trail is along the ocean and we rode to Aki town (about a 30 min. ride). There's an awesome cafe on a cliff in Aki called Rock Green Cafe. It has a beautiful view overlooking the ocean, they play great music and the owner is this super chill hippy guy.
I just had to go swimming on the way back. You're not supposed to swim in this area this time of year but I couldn't resist. It turns out there's a reason why you shouldn't swim, the waves are way too strong, so swimming was impossible. Japanese people almost never swim in the ocean.
There's a lot of shacks and all kinds of abandoned piles of old applicances, cars, mattresses etc. along the trail. It looks tropical, I felt like I was in Vietnam or something, not Japan.
I found this rock.
Here's a really old abandoned boat, I thought it looked really romantic. A lot of old men sit right on the shore and fish.
It was a beautiful day...
