hatsushima island
by mikka
A few weeks ago, one of Iain's students invited us for a day trip out to Hatsushima Island, a small island about 30 minutes by ferry from nearby Atami City. Though some fishermen live on the island, it's predominantly occupied by various spas, hotels and botanic gardens for visitors, and we didn't see much more than the botanic gardens and their weird shaped cacti:

above: mmmm, kakimizu.
roadside onions!
fishing nets...
... and lots of fish, which, sadly, we didn't eat (we had a picnic of convenient store food on the beach back in Atami instead).
Is it just me or is that fisherman seriously evil?
Yay, Hatsushima!
