In this episode my dog and I take you to one of the last wooden piers in Japan. I tried to capture some ethereal long-exposure shots of the pier using an ND filter. Haraoka Pier has a lot to offer for sightseeing, enjoying the weekend, and seascape photography.
Access details to this pier are available at my blog where I give you detailed information with Google Maps links for the expressway, toll-free highway, and train.
