Today is a national holiday in Japan, Keiro-no-hi (Respect-for-the-Aged Day Holiday; third Monday in September)
In the early morning, we went sea kayaking at the bay beneath our neighbourhood. This is the first time we kayak together in two years.
 |
| We departed the beach at 8:00 AM. This is a tandem kayak. |
 |
| Going to the opposite side of the bay |
 |
| Looking back to Mt.Itoshima-Fuji, the sun light was reflecting on the sea. |
 |
| Our whole neighbourhood can be seen from the kayak |
 |
| In 40 minutes, we arrived to the opposite shore. It's beautiful and comfortable private beach of this resort cottage area. |
 |
| The panorama view of this private beach, where there is no one except us. |
 |
| Returning back to the beach we departed. It was a really nice kayaking. |
 |
We carried the kayak on a two-wheeled cart to our car parked beside a road.

What a lovely reason to have a public holiday - respect for the aged! I've never heard of any nation having such a thing!
