Shizuoka 2

Hi guys. How are you? I’d like to introduce Shizuoka again as I said last week. This time, I’m going to introduce two lovely places I went and one place I really want to go.

First, I went to Jogasaki Coast in Ito. It’s about 40 km there so it’s not far from my hometown. It took about one and a half hours by car. I arrived there early evening and the weather was so nice. The scenery was magnificent. Also, there were no fence on the cliff so I could go to the tip of the cliff. It was so cool. Afterwards, I discovered on the Internet that two people died by falling off the cliff, so if you go there, you have to be careful.

 
 

Next, I went to Akao Herb and Rose Garden in Atami. It is near my hometown, so it took about 40 minutes by car. It is famous for flowers, but I was not interested in flowers, as I went there in the season of few flowers. Because of that, there were few people there. There was a coffee shop which called Coeda House. Its construction was quite unique, so it was so fashionable. And I ordered Rose cider and a Rose tart. My friend ordered Rose and Orange juice. Every taste was like flowers. Rose cider was tasty, but I didn’t like the Rose tart. I gave it to my friend. Rose and Orange juice tasted like just Orange. Also, there was a swing, so I rode it. I remembered my childhood on this swing. I felt so nostalgic. This picture looks like I’m flying in the sky on the swing. 

 

The place I really want to go is Dougashima Sea Cave. The clear emerald green sea and the mysterious lights and cave look so beautiful. When I go there, I have to join the Dougashima Cave Tour and take a boat. I think I will feel adventurous by that. I can't wait to go there. 

Suspension Bridges in Shizuoka

Hi, how’s it going? I would like to introduce nice places in Shizuoka. There are a lot of great sightseeing in places Shizuoka. Also, I really like Shizuoka, and I want you to know more about it. Therefore, I will introduce the same prefectures for two weeks in a row. This time, I am going to talk about two amazing suspension bridges (Tsuribashi).

 

First, I went to Yume-no-Tsuribashi (Suspension Bridge of Dreams) in Ikawa by car.  It’s about 400 km there and back. Also, I didn’t use the highway, so it took about 4 hours to go there. When I arrived, I thought I could see it finally. However, there was an extremely long line of people waiting to see and cross it. I didn’t expect that, so I was so disappointed. I waited about 2 hours. Finally, I could see and cross it. It was so nice. I think it was the most beautiful suspension bridge I’ve ever seen so far. But there were poor scaffolding and few handrails. Also the bridge was swaying. I was so scared. Also, I was very tired, so I couldn’t enjoy it.

Next, I went to Mishima Sky Walk in Mishima. It’s near the Hakone Jinja. It took about 1 hour from my hometown. Even though the weather was not so good, it was much nicer scenery than I thought. This suspension bridge had sturdy construction, so I could cross it without danger. Also, there was the Forest Adventure where you can do an athletic experience above the trees. I unfortunately couldn’t try it because of the weather, but it looked cool.

If you go to Yume-no Tsuribashi, I recommend that you go there in the morning. Then, I think you can see and cross it easily without too many people. Also, you should check the weather absolutely. Next week, I will introduce these places (the pictures below). So, look forward to it. You are going to love it.
