While we decided to do a city excursion to Taipei instead of a beach trip to Okinawa, it didn’t mean there would be no coastal activities at all.  After all, Kanazawa is on the West Coast of Japan.  So after a 30 minute drive, we found ourselves at a quaint seaside spot with some restaurants and shops and then an overpass across the highway to the beach.  Kai had the most fun of all I think, but I was a close second.
