In this summer, I went to travel to Tango peninsula at Japan Sea in Kyoto prefecture (North of Kyoto prefecture, they faces Japan Sea). At first, I stopped at a beautiful beach at Mihama in Fukui prefecture which is East side of Kyoto. There were nice weather and wonderful blue ocean in front of me, but there was no one to swim or sunburn here. If I had a swim suit, I could get this place all to myself!
