Sumiyoshiura Low Tide (Sumiyoshiura Shihohi)

|Sumiyoshi|Ura|Shihohi|

From around the first day of the third month to about the tenth, the tide ebbs and flows significantly. In particular, the third day of the third month is known as the low tide, and people of all ranks gather there. At Sakai and Sumiyoshiura, the tide recedes for about three ri, turning into tidal flats, and men and women who have come to sightsee go out to the open sea to gather clams. Also, the local people gather many and sell them to the sightseers.

In general, low tide is the same everywhere in inlets. However, the low tides at Sakaiura and Sumiyoshiura are also famous. The clam digging at Amagasakiura is very good. It is a sandy sea, so it is easy to gather shellfish.

In Edo, the low tide at Shinagawa is lively. In this bay, there are many flatfish, and sightseers enjoy catching them when they are in the tide pools.
