    Hayama, some say the Saint Tropez of Japan. Here the emperor has his summerhouse (heavily secured) and the bay is a perfect place to enjoy the Pacific ocean and a few lovely beaches. Here mostly the (wealthy) Japanese spend their holidays and only a handful of tourists. Only danger of this place is that you might not want to leave it anymore.

    Kamakura is an almost perfect for windsurfing offering gentle breezes, flat water, and sandy bottoms on most days, developing into advanced wave sailing sites when the winds pick up.

    There are 2 windsurfing schools in Kamakura:
    Seven seas (http://www.7seas.jp/)
    and
    Far East (http://www.fareast-school.com/).

    There's also a surf shop: Salty Dogs (http://www.windsurfin.net/salty/).

    Koi, a favorite of Japanese, you often see them in the ponds of temples & palaces.
    They are just gorgeous, aren't they?
