NARITA VILLAGE NOCTURN (NIGHT SHOT)

First of all, feel free to leave comments (see box below -- You may have to be signed in to your favorite social media).

Narita is not among the best places for nocturns, and I knew that when I set out. However, sometimes places "not the best" for any specific type of shot can yield very pleasing challenges and surprising results. For motorized traffic, this delightful little path is one-way, so all the lights going down the middle of the street are tail lights. I think there was a biker with a flashing headlight coming up the walkway to your left.

30-second exposure (if you are interested in those types of things, you can click on the little circle-enclosed "i." This also allows you to bring up a map on most of these shots, pinpointing where the photo was taken).

  • I enjoyed the little instruction / explanation sheet. Didn't use enough pepper for my tongue to get numb, so I probably missed out on the full experience. I did drink freely from the tea pot. Also, the statement about how they "serve you traditional eel food" makes it sound like they feed their customers the same thing they feed their eels, which , considering how fish tend to eat their own kind, may be true!<br />
<br />
At any rate, I do highly recomend Kawatoyo!<br />

  • The Inn at Spanish Head (our home for 2 nights) is the multistory one above my shoulder which extends from the cliff-top down to the beach. <br />

There were sea lions frolicking just a few feet off shore.

    I wasn't the only one. And there were still some business open (clubs and bars), but they were pretty far between. I think some of the bars are open 'till 11:00.

    Narita is so peaceful at night....I think it's because you're not really supposed to be out on the streets passed 9.
