Additional Information
This is one of the best rivermouth of Japan. Maybe the best wave of Japan. Heavy tubing rights. A must. The take off is hollow: adapt your board in consequence. Heavy rip.
To go to the peak: jump in the current from the stairs.
To go out: first solution, paddle until the stairs (very hard because off the rip; second solution, paddle to the tetrapods just next to the stairs; third solution, paddle to the and and do a long walk (the bad solution but the safest)
Atmosphere
You will never forget your take off.

places to stay - I'm going to visit for a week or two in the beginning of November. Any chance for surf at this time? Any decent places to stay near the surf? Thanks for any info about the area.
