Question 1

I haven't been to any beach in Japan yet but I 'd like to go to Sennan Marble Beach. I've heard it has a lot of outdoor recreational facilities. The location seems very accessible too.

Question 2

I used to do free-diving when I was in Cebu. In my hometown, since the beach is just five minutes from our house we used to spend the afternoons looking for shells, sea urchin, and sea cucumber when it's low tide.

Question 3

The last time I went to the beach was in November. It was three days before my flight to Japan so my friends held a farewell party for me at the beach and we camped there.

Question 4

I'm not a big fan of the summer season. Somedays it's just too hot that going outside is detrimental to our health since it might cause a heat stroke. I've heard that summer in Japan is actually hotter than in the Philippines so if you have any survival tips please share it in our upcoming discussion.

Question 5

I haven't but I would like to visit a beach in Hawaii in the future. I'm always intrigued why it's one of the top beach destinations. My husband's sister will hold her wedding ceremony there this year so we hope we get to visit it soon.

Question 6

I think they'd appreciate the beaches in Awaji island. There are a lot of beach options so you need not worry of a big crowd. It will be a worthwhile trip since they can also visit other astounding facilities like museums.
