Tonight at Ikebana (flower arranging class) we did an arrangement with some very pretty flowers which I unfortunately don't know the names of!

Cooking lesson!
Shirahama, Wakayama!
June 11th, 12th and 13th
We headed to Shirahama in Wakayama-ken for a long weekend at the beach! Shirahama is also known for its onsens (natural hot springs) and there are many around the town.
I had wanted to go to Shirahama for a long time as the beach is beautiful and the white sand is from Australia! We caught a bus from Osaka which took about 4 hours and then we set up camp and headed to the beach.
Our campsite
Amazing beach!
Such clear water :-)
Aussie sand!
Everyone at the beach at sunset
Beautiful sunset
For dinner we found a cool restaurant which had seats outside with a foot bath!
Me in the foot bath at dinner
The next day we tried the outdoor onsen right on the ocean - unfortunately the waves weren't big enough to come in! And then spent the afternoon at the beach.

The last day was a little rainy so we spent a bit of time in the onsen near the campsite and we were the only ones in there!

We then got some lunch before catching the bus back to Osaka and the train home. Such a great weekend!
