Take an intimate summer trip with Miki Sato

After last year, this is another summer that almost feels like it doesn’t have a proper summer. We can’t really go anywhere — certainly not abroad — and most festivals and major events are even canceled for a second year in a row or held in reduced forms.

Fortunately, someone is here to bring some much-needed sun into our lives.

The actor and model Miki Sato (佐藤美希) is featured in the August 23 issue of Weekly Playboy in a stunning summer-themed shoot.

What we love about this shoot is that it mostly eschews the more obvious swimsuit and pool or sea shots.

Instead we get the 28-year-old Miki looking alluring and sophisticated on the beach or at a pier or in a hotel room, showing off her toned body and bust in expensive lingerie.

We can easily imagine going on a trip to Okinawa with Miki and spending as much time in the hotel room as at the beach.
