Nishimuro-gun in Wakayama/Shirahama and Engetsutou

May 21, 2000. "Umi-Gami-Sai" (Sea god festival) was held in "Shira-hama" in the 21st. It is hard to tell from this picture, but this is a picture of treasure hunt that has 1 million-yen in total. We search for the treasures that are buried in the sand, and as you can guess the expensive treasures seemed to be buried deep so people there were having hard time digging the sand. There were also event called "Sorikku Race", a competition that people pull a sledge on the sand. Seigo Okazaki
