The beach is secure

Not the best picture, but I couldn't bring myself to ask for a photo while he was in the tower.

This, my friends, would be what makes Japan so safe. This here is the life guard for the Takeno beach. Sure, he might spend his time chastising hooligans instead of scanning the waters, but believe me-- this guy is the official life guard.

Poor guy doesn't even get to wear the true badge of life guard-dom-- the beautiful deep tan with a painted nose. Poor guy.
