Unfortunately, the weather yesterday was rather poor, & I was two months too late for the perfect sunset at the Bentenjima Tori.
In December & January, the sun sets directly inside the Tori.
Nevertheless, I had a lovely day and simply relaxed there for a while.
This place at Bentenjima is the last connection between the sea & lake Hamana.
During the high tide the Tori stands in the sea while during low tide you can see that it's on a small island.

Visited Lake Hamana at Kanzanji today and almost got blown away by the wind. Yes, this is an inland lake and the waves come from the somewhat windy weather. Unfortunately, a trip with the Kanzanji Ropeway was not possible today because of the wind :(
