Locals are friendly. Just say hello. Most split when it's head high or bigger.. All sorts of spots to be found. Conditions constantly change so don't just stick to the same spot in the lineup. On a good swell, best to be there early.

tohoku has nice waves and no crowded - I live in tokyo and sometimes go bodyboard by train. Ibaraki is nice to go, near tokyo, very constant and always a few people. Especially, Kawarago(Hitati taga station) is my favourite.
