“A place you didn't expect to see in Japan”

I was told about this place by a friend and I didn't really think too much about a sand dunes in Japan? But when you see the real thing, it is very impressive and you can only wonder if you are really in Japan! Despite of the strong wind and sand everywhere, we climbed the big dune to see the beautiful view of the sea. I would like to come back there again in the night, as according to my friend, we can see pretty lights from the city!
