The beaches of Japan, the country of the rising sun, distinguished by their originality and approach, spread over a nation that combines the futurism of the capital, Tokyo, in rural and traditional aspect of culture and many of the towns. With more than 6,800 small islands, some of the beaches are truly spectacular, and from there we went to see the beauty and ancient traditions of the country.
The swimming season in Japan begins with the blessing of a priest, who is in charge of declaring that the waters are safe for people to swim. This ceremony is normally completed by the first days of June, although you may find some people swimming outside these dates.
The first two recommendations in Japan are the beaches, and Shonan Enoshima just over an hour away from the city of Tokyo. Relatively central and always crowded, the beaches are ideal for those who do not want to miss the benefits of the city and most recognized Japan for Westerners.

Crystal clear water, dolphins, whales and all kinds of aquatic flora and fauna come together in the islands and their surroundings, and lovers of peace and tranquility will appreciate the one hand perhaps not as well known ancient Japan.
