The picture above is of my wife, then girlfriend, Chie Abe, and our best friends, Larry (H.L.) and Takako Johnson, sitting on the beach in Saitozaki.

This picture overlooks the harbor at Saitozaki. While its beaches were nice, the village had no public beaches to speak of. Most of its roads were dirt or gravel covered, while the main roads going to the ferry dock, Fukuoka, and Shikanoshima, and very few others, were paved. Most of its homes and buildings were made of wood, and usually were left unpainted. The pictures below are summer and winter views of Saitozaki's main streets. The snow was a rare occurance. |
