The Beach Was Packed Last Week. Today One Small Sign Is Keeping Everyone Out of the Water.

To say caution: jellyfish in Japanese, say クラゲ注意 (kurage chuui).

Same beach, same weather, and the water is completely empty. There is a small board at the entrance and it is not about the typhoon.

クラゲ注意 kurage chuui caution: jellyfish

Why this phrase

From around mid August, jellyfish numbers rise in the shallows at beaches around Japan, and the beach huts put out a 「クラゲ注意」 board. Locals treat it as a calendar rule rather than a forecast: once Obon passes, the jellyfish arrive. The board also teaches a distinction worth more than the beach itself, 注意 means caution and 禁止 means forbidden.
