Suma-ku is one of nine wards of Kobe. It has a lengthy stretch of sand, so it is a popular beach location in the summer. The beach has appeared in several Japanese classics, for example, “Genji Monogatari,” (Tale of the Genji.)

Love the contrast of the yellow sand and the dark blue water. Beautiful.
Thank you. That is a very strange, blank sky, isn’t it? Gray. Made the water look so dark.
Yes, super interesting. Hard to even describe the color of the water…
