Santōka Alarm
日本語EN

Izu is warm and good for sleeping outdoors the sound of waves too

izu wa atatakaku nojuku ni yoroshii namioto mo

Sōmokutō · Persimmon Leaves (Kaki no ha)

Notes

The warm seashore of Izu is good for sleeping outdoors. Into the bargain, the sound of waves comes drifting up. Not lamenting his lack of lodging, he appraises the land as a fine spot to sleep rough. The hardy brightness of one seasoned to the road.
