Surf & Snow at the same time

Sand skiing:
Touji Sand Skiing Area, Shimoda Shizuoka is a nature made dune that slide of 70 meters long with 30 degrees steep angle and its width has 100 meters.


Get there:
Take the Odoriko Super express Train from Tokyo Station which directly take you to Izukyu-Shimoda Station. It takes approximately less than 3 hours. Then get on the bus from bus terminal in front of the train station. you can wait for the bus at No.2. However, the drawback of this plan, the bus running only once a day at 3:45 pm. It's gonna be struggle to get to Sand skiing Area as long as you have got the rent a car.

The best scenario:
You are taking a trip to Kisami Ohama Beach that is beautiful nature around with amazing blue ocean and white dune that is well known for westeners those who lives in Tokyo and you are staying at the accomodation there.
You are having fun to take a relax at the beach, tried to Surfing and take a hot spring and so on.
You are very active person, but you want to enjoy something aside from water activities. Why don't you ask for a manager at the hotel where you stay that you want to try Sand Skiing and ask for that "I wonder if you pick me up to Sand Skiing Area and want to borrow snow sledges if possible." I guess a manager would be happy to accept your offer because from Kisami Ohama Beach to Touji Sand Skiing Area is very close.

Tip:
I tried Snowboarding at there that was a good experience to me. However its feeling like a dump snow and going down 70 meters long is not good enough to me. Maybe you should better choose Snow sledges than Snowboard because when you sit on the Snow sledges, you feels its speed which is more exciting than Snowboarding because your face is more closer to the dune.
