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.

Exploring in Kanagawa

  

 

Hi everyone. How are you doing? How was your summer holiday? I don’t think most people could go anywhere or enjoy this summer because of the Coronavirus. I wanted to go to the beach or pool to swim, but I didn’t because I thought if I went there, there would be a lot of people there, and I might get Coronavirus. That’s why I couldn’t. Instead, I went to some sightseeing spots by car, motorcycle and bicycle. This time, I would like to introduce 2 nice places in Kanagawa where I went.

First, I went to Lake Miyagase in Sagamihara by bicycle. Its about 100km there and back from my home town. It was much harder than I thought, but I made it. However,  my whole body, especially my feet and ass were sore. I don’t remember how many times I got a cramp in my leg. The color of the lake is light blue. The weather was not so nice, but the view was beautiful, and the view of the lake with a red bridge was more amazing. But if the weather had been nice, I think the view would have been nicer.

I went to Heiwa-no-Torii and Hakone Jinja in Hakone by motorcycle. Every January I go there to pray so this was kind of my first time to go in another season. I prayed for my health and future. I’ve been there many times but I actually didn’t know Heiwa-no-Torii existed in Hakone. I was kind of embarrassed. Anyway, I was so glad to take this amazing photo. 

There are some nice places in Kanagawa where I still haven't been like Sengokuhara Susuki Grass Fields in Hakone, Komayama Park in Hiratsuka etc. I will go there next time.
