travel asia japan toba around the town

The town of Toba looks like it is just beginning to try and fix itself up for tourism with a "new" waterfront.
The town itself, although surrounded by a beautiful harbor and islands, is unremarkable.
There were many people taking surveys of tourists about how to make it better.
