Once a year, I like to go on a trip with my family.  It’s nice to get away from the busy city in Nagoya and go somewhere quiet where we can enjoy nature and have fun as a family.  

This year, we decided to go to Shinojima.  We spent lots of time at the beach and enjoyed swimming in the ocean.  It was quite hot and sunny all weekend, but we got to enjoy the cool ocean water.  There isn’t much there in terms of sightseeing, but it’s a great place to relax and enjoy some delicious seafood!
