Surfing
As long as you are along the Japanese coast, you will find it hard to avoid surfers keen to get their first wave of the day. Being made of four main islands and thousands of others, Japan has plenty of coastlines, each with a decent swell. If you are looking for big surf, you have found the right place; from July through October, the typhoons which regularly hit Japan create some huge swells. There is also a variety of surf, from glassy (smooth) waves found in the Sea of Japan, to reef breaks found off the southern islands. To top it off, you can find many beautiful beaches to lounge on after a good morning’s surf, such as Okinawa Beach in Japan’s most southern city.
