The Morning Scenery of Mitoko Bay Awakening with the Dawn

Cross the Shishikui River from Shishikui, and you’ll find yourself gazing upon the expanse of Mitoko Bay. Unusually for the Pacific coast, it’s dotted with small islands: Kagori, Sabi, and Ueba.

Mornings at Mitoko Bay are a spectacle to behold. As night reluctantly gives way to day, the sky retains a touch of darkness while the horizon blazes orange. The sun rises between the islands, its rays piercing through as if day and night were joining hands to usher in a new dawn. With the gentle lapping of waves as a soundtrack, a new day begins in serene beauty.
