Miuda Beach lies on the east coast about 7km southeast of Mitsushima and is supposedly one of 'Japan's 100 Best'. Arbitrary as such a designation may be, the beach is nice because it was not over-developed, though a stone's throw from it is Tsushima's best-known onsen, or hot spring, in a compound surrounded by an array of boilers fed by a power line sturdy enough to serve a whole village. Authentic or not, it felt good to wash and soak our bodies in something other than seawater.
