Sumpu Castle Park
Park
Sights & Landmarks
Castle
Sumpu Castle Park is a city park famous for its spring cherry blossoms and the reconstructed remains of an ancient castle. It offers a unique blend of history and modernity, with the remnants of the Japanese castle creating a delightful backdrop. While there are not many original castle structures left, the park has been transformed into a beautiful and serene environment that seamlessly integrates modern elements with its historical past.
Nice walking area with several paths, a nice garden, and two historical museums. Though the museums are 95% japanese text as of April 2024.
There's also a nice 30 minute boat ride around the moat for 1000¥. The boat tour guide only speaks in Japanese as well but that's okay, you can focus on taking pictures. Note at the end of the ride the roof is lowered and you have to bend down while you go under the low bridge. One tip, board on the left side of the boat which means you'll be on the right side while going around the park. It has a better view for pictures most of the ride.

A famous spot right next to Shizuoka Station. Ruins are scattered across the vast grounds. As you walk around the restored turret, you can clearly understand the historical background. The garden was also a nice place. It's interesting to see the excavation site of the remains of the castle tower. You can listen to explanations from volunteers for free, so give it a try.

Went to the park that has Tokugawa Ieyasu statue and his orange groves. Was very impressed and nice to make his acquaintance. I traveled to Shizuoka and have learned a lot in the last two days and having a guide helped because I was able to go to all the places of interest that I wanted to experience. Took many pictures of trees and the moat area as well. Shizuoka is an interesting place and everyone should visit this place at least once in their life.

The castle itself is long gone, but has the gatehouse and large grounds. The hana matsuri was in full flow when I was there. The place looked at its best. The only downside was that the rubbish bins were inadequate for the festival; consequently, there were huge piles of litter heaped around them.

Sunpu Castle At Aoi-Ku, Shizuoka, Shizuoka.Japan
Relaxing .a MUST see in the list !
The castle grounds are now replaced by a nice and relaxing park. Nonetheless a lot of castle remains can be found throughout the park. In the big park signs are everywhere to make sure you will not get lost.
The park itself is very peaceful and nicely set up. It is also used for all kind of public activities.
One has to pay to enter the Sumpu Castle Park though (Adults ¥360, children less) as well as additionally fees if you wish to visit one or both of the reconstructed turrets.

中込農園is one of the best farms in Japan. I really enjoyed staying there. The farm have wide variety of fruits in premium quality including peach, apple, grape, nectarine, cherry, pear, persimmon and plum. Honestly the fruits are the best I've ever try in my life. Besides, the hospitality of Kazu san and his staffs makes the experience even better. It is especially suitable for family or friends gathering. The price of fruit picking is reasonable and there are plenty of car parking space. After fruit picking, it is always nice to take a walk in the downtown Yamanashi. I'm sure you will like it!

I love Nakagomi Orchard. At the end of July, my family and friends went there to pick the peaches. This is my first time to visit the peach orchard. There are so many peach trees, we can climb up the ladder to pick the top/good one which faces the sun that Cham told us. She also let us taste the golden peaches too. All the peaches were very delicious and juicy.
Thank you Cham!

Would not visit this place again. Totally dissapointed with the service. we reached early around 1300 (our appointment is 1330) and we were at the right place but there is nobody to receive us. Thus, we thought we were at the wrong location as there is no parking lots at the specified location. we ended up going round and round for an HOUR to find the location. In the end, we called the host and found out that the fruit picking session is cancelled due to the rain. (We did not call earlier because we are unable to stop the car on one side and there was no parking lots) But on their website, they indicated that they will not cancel (unless it is a heavy storm) as their fruit picking farms are sheltered. It was raining on that day but clearly it is not a heavy storm. I understand that they have the rights to cancel the session last minute but it would be great if they can at least drop us a call or an email notifying us of the cancellation. Because of this, we wasted one whole day worth of time and money just to make plans to go to the farm (including car rental). Totally very disappointing. Definitely would not visit this farm again.

If it is in season, this is a great place to go for fruit picking.
We went for peaches on July 4th. Being the middle of the week, we did not need reservations. On the weekends, I would not think of it without a reservation.
The people there are friendly. For the peaches, it was like most every other orchard I've been to. Either pick the fruit from the trees, or they have some in cooler.
They speak English, so it is very foreigner friendly.
Convenient enough to get to, but far out of the way at the same time.
Can't wait for the grapes to come in!

I did my 1st volunteering farm work for about 10 days in Nakagomi Orchard. The farm works I did were fruits picking, weeding, trimming, packing, and putting down the silver sheet. Human efforts are much needed to produce high quality fruits. Kazusan talked about the farming knowledge as he was guiding me to do the farm work. I tried many sweet and juicy peaches during my stay! Besides, Yokosan cooked delicious dinner for the volunteers! The staffs in the orchard are friendly and willing to chat! A big thanks to Takasan, Marysan, Kennichisan, Kensan, Kazusan and Yokosan! I'm appreciated that I was given a chance to experience my very first farming in Nakagomi Orchard!

This is really a great place! They have multiple locations with different fruits. I went here for the grape picking and eating. It was about ¥2,000 for two hours of all you can eat grapes. That’s more than enough time to fill yourself up. They were so good! I ate about three bunches. They seat you at a table and give you scissors for cutting, gloves and a plate to put your grapes on. It’s very popular so I recommend going early in the season because if you want to take some home, you can’t if you go at the end of the season. As an aside it’s cheaper to go there in person and pay, reserving it on Jaran is more expensive.

There are many different kinds of fruit for picking from June to November. I visited Nakagomi Orchard in August 2019 for peach and grapes picking. Their fruit are so wonderful and delicious. It was really an enjoyable experience to enjoy such high quality of fruit at Nakagomi Orchard. Fresh air, friendly staffs of the orchard and beautiful fresh fruit on the trees that I will come back again for sure.

Nihondaira Ropeway, located in Shizuoka, provides breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. Visitors can enjoy a scenic ride up a smaller mountain and admire the majestic Mt. Fuji from above. At the mountaintop, there is a beautiful shrine waiting to be explored, adding cultural significance to the natural beauty of the area.
Kunōzan Tōshōgū, a picturesque Shinto shrine established in 1617, is a must-visit in Shizuoka Prefecture. It honors Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate and a key figure in Japanese history. The shrine's serene ambiance and stunning architecture make it an ideal place to pay respects to this influential leader.
It was very interesting since the ride to the hill shared very interesting facts. It has a lot of cool stuff owned by the shoguns in the Edo period in the museum too! It made me take a lot of pictures. You should go if you like visiting shrines.

Beautiful shrine and tomb of Tokugawa Ieyasu. Amazing views of the Shizuoka bay as well as the Mt. Fuji. Look for the upside down Tokugawa emblem that represent the unfinished and imperfect nature of beauty. Illumination of the shrine during November. Take the rope way, walking up to the top could be a challenge. A must see when in Japan

The Kunozan Toshogu shrine is worth a visit if you're in the area. It's historically significant and also really rather impressive. The steps up the hillside can be a chore (take a bottle of water with you), particularly in warm weather.

Historical place. Somehow, it is popular to Japanese because of very famous drama. It seems like this shinsa was the filming location. The shinsa was full of Japanese. Many of them came to pray and meditate. It looked good that elders and youngs visited for their pray. The flowers at the shinsa were blooming, so now migut be a real good time to go visit.

The origin of Toshogu Shrine where the body of Tokugawa Ieyasu was buried.

quite like it here - it's quiet and calm, then was able to walk around with a peaceful mind and enjoy the environment. but i went there at a late time so some entrance to the temple was already blocked, i was only able to look at it from outside. but it's beautifully built. the stairs were quite large and high, so had to walk carefully especially for elderly. i spent around an hour here but i think when it's in operation hour like around noon? when all the temples are open and welcome for worshipping, it'd be good to spend more time here to refresh and relax both body and soul here.

Should be top of the list when visiting Shizuoka! Tokugawa Ieyasu is a big deal in Japan, and it’s awesome to learn about his origins in the Shizuoka area, visit his tomb, and see his personal collection of items in the museum. This is the original Toshogu shrine where Ieyasu’s body is buried. The Nikko one was built later. We had a special tour to go inside the main hall which was amazing.

A shrine of significant historical importance which is well worth visiting if you are already at Nihondaira. If you take the ropeway, it'll only take about 5 minutes each way. There is a car that comes every 15 minutes. If you came here by car, be wary of the bus timetables.
Johnny Lam — Google review
I really enjoyed my visit to this shrine. It was very moving to be able to explore it and see the grave of Tokugawa.
We took the rope way from Nihondaira and then walked down to the coast afterward.
While i was there, there was a ceremony going on in the main temple for a newborn baby which was very interesting and educational for me to witness.
We also went into the museum which was incredible. They have many personal items that belonged to Tokugawa and his descendants along with the armor worn by many individuals of his family line and swords that were used by them as well. It was very cool to see them and left a very strong impression.
There are also some amazing views of the town and coast below the shrine.
I highly recommend coming here if you have the opportunity.

Miho no Matsubara is a picturesque coastal stretch of 7-km that boasts a sandy shoreline surrounded by pine trees and scenic views of Mount Fuji on clear days. It's an ideal spot for beach enthusiasts seeking privacy as the forest provides ample coverage from prying eyes.

The clouds can be fickle, but unless it's a grey day out, have patience and it might just pay off!! We waited for an hour with hope, after exploring 神の道 (legend says the gods look for this ancient pine to know where to disembark from their journey). And what a sight it was to see Mt Fuji tower over the bay. I can absolutely see why it's listed as one of the 3 legendary sights!! Also featuring a kitty sitting atop a rock like a god himself.

Miho no Matsubara (三保の松原, Pinery of Miho, Pine grove at Miho) is a scenic area on the Miho Peninsula in Shimizu Ward of Shizuoka City, Japan. Its seven-kilometre seashore is lined with pine trees. It is the location of the legend upon which the Noh drama Hagoromo is based; on the second Saturday and Sunday of October, the city of Shizuoka holds a Hagoromo Festival and a performance of the Noh drama takes place near the pine tree of the legend.

Miho no Matsubara is a breathtakingly beautiful destination in Japan that exceeded all my expectations. Located in Shizuoka Prefecture, near the iconic Mount Fuji, it offers a unique and magical experience for nature lovers.
Upon arrival, I was immediately captivated by the majestic views of endless pine trees, stretching along a mesmerizing coastline. The sweeping landscape had an ethereal quality, which made me feel like I had stepped into a pristine painting.
Walking along the sandy beach, I couldn't help but marvel at the awe-inspiring waves crashing against the rocks. The rhythmic sounds coupled with the fresh salty air provided a serene and calming experience. It was incredibly therapeutic to simply sit by the shore and observe the power and beauty of nature

My 4th visit to the Miho-no-Matsubara was back in January 2021. My 5th visit was in April 2023 where I visited the entire coastline from the pine grove all the way to the northern tip where we can also see the Miho Lighthouse. Along the entire coastline, you can catch many views of Mt. Fuji with different compositions. Even if the weather is cloudy, be patient as the offshore winds blow the clouds making Mt. Fuji visible throughout the day. Naturally, a clear day during winter is the best chance to catch clear views of Mt. Fuji. In addition, the walking trails extending all the way from the lighthouse to the the pine grove is very nice and relaxing. The nearby parking lot behind the visitor's center is free. For an even more immersive experience, I've detailed each photo location with helpful Google Maps links, along with fascinating historical information and references for further exploration over at the Pix4Japan blog post dedicated to Miho-no-Matsubara.

This is the beach for you if you are one of those who needs privacy to enjoy your beach time.
Yes you got it right, this beach has pine trees forest lined up on one side and as it should be water on the other.
Being a high tide time, the waves kept approaching the shore and we had the best time of the little beach experience that we have.
Access is no issue for this place. We visited it from Yokohama and there is this one long road along the ocean side all the way through odawara.
Visit this on a clear sky day and get a view of the one and only Mt. Fuji. Unfortunately for us it was cloudy and we could only get a momentary glimpse of it.
Enjoy your beach time. Fully recommended. I will visit again, for sure!!!

Monde Winery offers factory and cellar tours without appointments, along with complimentary tastings at the store. Despite its initial impression as a producer of affordable wines found in convenience stores, the winery is dedicated to crafting quality wines. The shop, located across the road from the factory, may appear old on the outside but boasts a spacious and clean interior offering various local food items that pair well with their wines. Visitors can also find suitable souvenirs here.

(Translated by Google) When you actually visit, the impression that you are a manufacturer of affordable wine sold at convenience stores will change. I felt that I was brewing wine honestly. There is a parking lot, a shop and a toilet on the other side of the road from the factory. The exterior looks old, but the inside of the shop is large and clean, and there are many foods that are suitable for local wine and grape-related foods as well as wine. You can get enough souvenirs here alone.
I was supposed to park my car at the inn and come on foot, but I couldn't taste the wine because I was out of schedule and came by car, so I will return.

実際に訪れてみるとコンビニ等で売っているお手頃価格ワインのメーカーという印象が変わりますね。実直ににワイン醸造していると感じました。 工場と道を挟んだ反対側に駐車場と売店とトイレがあります。外観は古さを感じさせますが売店内部は広くて清潔でワインだけでなく地産のワインに合いそうな食品やブドウ関連食品なども多数置いてありました。ここだけで十分お土産を調達できます。

(Translated by Google) I was staying at Hanayagi no Sho Keizan in Isawa Onsen, so I looked for a winery close to the inn and decided on this one.
Factory tours are held twice a day, and reservations can be made by email.
You can sample and purchase wine at the shop without visiting. Red wine from Yamanashi is delicious, but the white one I sampled here was so delicious that I bought two bottles.
The person in charge of the factory tour provided detailed explanations. I was casually drinking wine, but I realized that there was a lot I didn't know about it. thank you very much.
it was fun!

石和温泉の「華やぎの章 慶山」に宿泊するので、旅館から近いワイナリーを探したところ、こちらに決めました。
工場見学は一日2回あり、メールで予約します。
見学しなくても売店でワインの試飲と購入が可能。山梨のワインは赤が美味しいのですが、こちらで試飲したのは白が美味しく、2本購入。
工場見学は担当の方が丁寧に説明してくださいました。何となく飲んでいたワインですが、知らないことがいっぱいあったことに気づきました。ありがとうございました。
楽しかった!

(Translated by Google) Various authentic wines are sold to Monde Winery to buy wine for Mother's Day. There is a tasting, but since it is a car, this time it is a pass, but the tasting is quite attractive. I would like to come to the tasting someday, the factory tour was canceled now, and I would like to come someday. By the way, grape juice was more expensive than wine, so I didn't buy it.

母の日のワインを買いにモンデ酒造さんへ、本格的なワインが色々と売ってます。試飲もありますが自動車なので今回はパス、しかしかなり試飲は魅力的です。いつか試飲にも来てみたいです、工場見学も今は中止中でしたこちらもいつかは来てみたいです。ちなみに葡萄ジュースはワインよりお高かったので自分は買いませんでした。

(Translated by Google) Every time I go to Isawa, I am always taken care of. Special mention should be made of Bailey A wine, which will be sold at Yamanashi Nouveau in November. The nuances of strawberries and the juiciness unique to fresh sake are exquisite. You can enjoy the taste of light-bodied wine, which is different from full-bodied cabeseau and Malbec!
(Original)
石和に行くときには毎度お世話になっています。特出すべきは、11月の山梨ヌーボー解禁で売られるベーリーAのワインです。苺のニュアンスと新酒ならではのジューシーさが絶品です。カベソーとかマルベックのフルボディとは異なる、ライトボディのワイン美味しさを堪能できます!

(Translated by Google) A winery that can be reached on foot from the station.
You can drink quite a bit with the free tasting, but the paid standing tasting is also a good deal, and the aroma of the 1986 Chardonnay is as rich as honey, which is impressive. I also recommend the 300 yen snacks, which are large but you can take them home.

駅から徒歩で来れるワイナリー。
無料試飲でも結構飲めるけど、立ち飲み有料試飲もお得、1986のシャルドネの薫が蜜のように濃厚で感動もの。300円おつまみも、量はあるけど持ち帰れるからオススメです〜

(Translated by Google) Came here on January 6, 2024 with my best friend. The reason I came to Monde Sake Brewery was because Kikyoya Shingen is the manufacturer of ``Kikyou Shingen Kuromitsu Soybean Flour Liqueur,'' a liqueur made from brown sugar syrup and soybean flour.When I called Monde Sake Brewery in advance, I was told that this product would be available. That's why I headed here. Once you enter through the reception desk, you can sample several varieties of white and red wine. I also like that the wine tasting is free. Everyone sampled various wines. Unfortunately, there were no non-alcoholic drinks available, so my best friend couldn't drink as she was driving. I sampled several types, but since I don't usually drink wine, I didn't really know what they tasted like (lol)
After tasting it, I was looking for Kikyo Shingen Kuromitsu Soybean Flour Liqueur and found it in the souvenir corner, so I bought it with my best friend.The plum wine I tasted was very delicious, so I decided to buy it. We also bought a winery.It's quite a large winery and can be reached by sightseeing bus, but the winery where you can sample wine is in a larger building, so it was a short stay, but it was a lot of fun! If you are interested, please stop by once.

2024年1月6日に親友と一緒にここに来ました。モンデ酒造さんに来た訳は、桔梗屋信玄さんの黒蜜ときな粉のリキュール「桔梗信玄黒蜜きな粉リキュール」の製造元であって、事前に「モンデ酒造」さんに電話をしたら、この商品なら、置いてあると言う事なので、ここに向かいました。入口から、受付をして入ると、白ワイン、赤ワインの品種が何種類か試飲できますよ。ワインの試飲も無料なのがいいですね。皆さんいろんなワインを試飲していましたよ。残念ながらノンアルコール飲料は有りませんでしたので、親友は運転するので飲めませんでしたよ。私は何種類かを試飲しましたが、普段ワインを飲まないので、あまり味わいとかは分かりませんでした(笑)
試飲をした後は、お目当ての「桔梗信玄黒蜜きな粉リキュールを探していたら、お土産コーナーにあったので、それを親友と購入しました。私は、試飲した梅酒がとても美味しかったので、梅酒も一緒に購入しましたよ。結構大きく、観光バスでも来られる、ワイン工場ですが、試飲出来るワイナリーは大きめの建物なので、短時間の滞在では有りましたけど、とても楽しかったですよ!近くに行った人は1度寄ってみて下さいね。

(Translated by Google) The entrance was a tasting of a new type of Delaware wine, and it was chilled and delicious, so I bought it! ! Even though I don't know anything about wine, I was able to sample wine based on whether it was easy to drink or whether I liked white or red, so it was fun. If you purchase canned wine or souvenirs and they are over 10,000 yen, you can have them mailed to you, but since they are heavy, I asked for them.
(Original)
新種のデラウェアのワインの試飲が入り口であり、よく冷えていて美味しかったので購入!!ワインの事が分からない私でも、飲みやすいとか白と赤の好みとかで試飲出来るので楽しかったです。缶のワインやお土産も購入して1万円以上だと郵送して頂けるので、重いからお願いしました。

There were many different types to sample, and I was able to enjoy a variety of flavors.
This was helpful when purchasing wine as a souvenir.
However, my wife is not very fond of alcohol, and the bus guide had told us that there would be juice tastings, but we were a little disappointed that they actually weren't.

Immerse yourself in the local culture and natural beauty of Isawa Onsen, a charming resort town surrounded by picturesque mountains and renowned for its stunning cherry blossoms. Take a leisurely stroll through the serene grounds of Erinji Zen temple, delve into Japan's prehistoric past at the Shakado Museum of Jomon Culture, or admire the traditional architecture of the historic Kanzo Yashiki mansion.
We were very happy to drive here during the summer months and get to see all the fruit w/ their little sun / rain hats. The method for growing in this region certainly is a sight to see. Chateau Mercian's wine store and tasting room had all the hard-to-find good stuff in a single room. Rose', sparking wines, cabs, you name it, they have tried it and have some ready for purchase. The parking lot is about 100yds down the road; don't park in the school lot.

This place is an aging gem. The prices can be beaten and the grounds are naturally beautiful set with Fuji-San as a fantastic backdrop. There are sign of wear and some best-effort managed vegetation growth, but it’s not worth thinking about. The splash pad and water slide were my 4 year olds favorite. Also, the canoe/kayak route is free! It’s a great place to take a leisurely hike around. 5-stars for stress free fun!

Food is very average. Actually bring your own bento. Don’t eat here. Animals are starving.

It is a nice place to take younger children to enjoy nature and play outdoors. It is best to bring picnic type lunch with you. You can enjoy an entire day outside walking o trails, children riding ponies, trips on the water in boats. There is frisbee golf and grand golf. There is not a lot for you to purchase inside the park so best come prepared with drinks and snacks as needed. If you don’t have children but an a nice place to walk around and enjoy the beautiful scenery this is o e of those places.

My family loves visiting Mt. Fuji Children's world! In August you can visit their beetle exhibit and hold stag or Hercules beetles. My children love the waterside and "ninja" water run. The highlight for us is always the fishing pond, where we catch and grill our lunch, as they will gut the fish you catch. It's a great place to enjoy with kids, lots of beautiful nature to see. Be sure to plan to spend the entire day here, as there is so much to do and you won't want to leave!

Very sad run down amusement park. Poorly maintained equipment. Only fit for kids under 5 maybe, 1300 y for kids to get in, annoying music player throughout the park. Rollercoaster not operating. Nothing teen could play. Everything is rusted out n poorly maintained. Lots of broken concrete. Don't think it will be in operation soon. Family of 4 will set you back $120'Aud n it's just a waste of your money and time.
Lover's Cape is a popular tourist spot that features a wooden pathway leading to an observation deck on the clifftop. The deck boasts sculptures and offers breathtaking views of the bay and Mount Fuji. Visitors are advised to plan their trip on a clear day, as cloudy weather may not provide optimal viewing conditions. The pathway is situated atop a steep hill, which requires some walking up and down from the free parking lot.
Lovers Cape in Japan is a picturesque spot that offers a blend of natural splendor and romantic allure. Known for its breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and the iconic Mount Fuji, it's a place where love seems to hang in the air. The cape's landscaped park,charming ,lighthouse,and the legendary lock-on fence where couples leave padlocks as a symbol of their love, all contribute to its enchanting atmosphere. Whether you're seeking a memorable date spot or a scenic retreat, Lovers Cape is a fantastic choice that promises to leave you with lasting memories.

I climbed up here with my son and had to ring the bell- just because we could. It was a steep climb for an OAP used to flat land but it was worth it.

This is a place with excellent sea view and romantic atmosphere. When you visit there in sunny day, you see the Fuji Mountain too. There used to be special ceremony on Valentine day (14 Feb)
Other than the great view, there are two major things to do in here.
1st, swing the 2 bells there, one in the middle of the track, the other at the end. That sort of give you the blessing to stay with your love one forever. Remember to swing and ring the bell for 3 times each.
2nd, buy the heart shape gift card and put it on the hanging string near the entrance of the track

You can walk along the promenade to Koibito Misaki and enjoy forest bathing.

Be careful of wild boars and deer after sunset.

At low tide, the tombolo phenomenon that creates a path across to Sanshiro Island is right in front of the hotel, and it's amazing.
It is the only inn that uses the source of Dogashima Onsen, and its melting hot springs ♨️ are also attractive. The open-air bath near the sea is located far away, but it was spacious and clean and I'm glad I took a bath.
There is also a place where you can drink the hot springs, so I wonder if they are good for your health.
The relaxation room is equipped with 5,000 popular manga, the latest massage machines are free, board games, private rooms, hammocks, and a great view, so it's highly recommended! !
My family also loved it.
Also, there was free drinks from 15:00 to 17:00, including all-you-can-drink beer!
Free drinks are available for 90 minutes during dinner, and there is a wide selection of local sake, making this an attractive accommodation for those who like alcohol! 🍶🍺

(Translated by Google) Before the coronavirus, I would watch a movie and have a meal three times a year (on the couple's birthday and wedding anniversary), but due to the coronavirus, I started avoiding movie theaters, and I visited the grave four times a year, including visiting a distant grave. This is my second trip to the hot springs, and I am always looking for the cheapest hotel possible. Up until now, I had mainly been using the ⚪️⚪️ Garden, but I was at a loss because all the rooms were non-smoking, so I found this hotel. The staff who answered the first phone call was very responsive and made my reservation very pleasant. The man at check-in was kind and all the staff were wonderful. Since we had a half-buffet meal for consecutive nights, I thought we would have the same meal the next day, but the second day we had something different, so I forgot to take pictures of the first day's meal. I was using a serving robot to lower the dishes, but I thought it would be cute if it had a voice that asked if it could lower the dishes. The bath can be used for private use from around 1:00 pm after cleaning is finished. The relaxation room was also nice, but since I drink a lot of coffee and water after I wake up in the morning, and I want it after taking a bath, I think it would have been better if I could have used it from the time I took a bath both in the morning and afternoon. I'm a smoker myself, but I'm concerned about other people's smoke and smells, and even though the room was a smoking room, there was no odor at all, and the hallway didn't bother me even after I smoked. There were some noticeable stains, but considering the age of the building, it can't be helped. I will go back, so please keep all rooms smoking.

コロナ前は年3回(夫婦の誕生日・結婚記念日)は映画を見て食事をして終わりだったのが、コロナで映画館を敬遠するようになり、遠方えの墓参りを含め年4回の温泉旅行になり、なるべく安いホテルを毎回探しています。今までは⚪️⚪️園を主に使っていたんですが、禁煙室ばかりになってしまい途方に暮れていたところこちらのホテルを見つけました。最初の電話に出たスタッフの方の対応が素晴らしく気持ちよく予約しました。チェックイン時のおじさんも優しくスタッフ全員素晴らしかった。食事はハーフバイキングで連泊だったので、次の日も同じ食事だろうと思っていたら二日目は違うものが出てきて一日目の食事を撮るのをわすれてしまいました。食器を下げるのに配膳ロボットを使っていましたが、スタッフと一緒では無く単体で下げて周り、下げるのありますか みたいな音声があったら可愛いかなとも思った。お風呂は掃除が終わった13時頃から入れて貸し切り状態。リラクゼーションルームも良かった、ただ、朝起きてからコーヒーとか水分を結構採るのとお風呂上がりに欲しいので、朝・昼ともにお風呂に入れる時間から使えたら良かったかな。自分も喫煙者だけど他人の煙や臭いが気になる方で、お部屋は喫煙室だったのに全く臭わなかったし吸ったすぐ後も廊下も気にならなかった。目立つ汚れも有ったけれど、築年数から考えれば仕方ない。また行きますので、全室喫煙維持してください。

[Hot spring] You'll understand once you enter! My skin is smooth and slippery! The spring quality is similar to Bato Onsen in Tochigi. The indoor bath has a hot bath and a sauna, making it like a super public bath. It is located in an unusual location, separate from the facility. Open 24 hours!
The open air is located a little far from the facility and near the sea. There is no washing area in the open air. The open air is open until 9pm.
[Room] I stayed on the 4th floor of the annex. The scenery is amazing! There is an open balcony with no fence, and it was great to have a drink on this balcony. The bath in the room faces the balcony, so it may be convenient to use the bath in the summer.
[Meal] Since I chose the option, I had priority to sit by the window. There are many alcoholic accompaniments, and the alcoholic beverages go on. There are fewer types and desserts compared to other hotels, so children may be dissatisfied. Adults were satisfied with both the morning and evening meals.
[Free service] Free draft beer from arrival until 5pm was great! We are grateful that the free drink bar is also available the next morning! Yakult and popsicles are free at the after-bath area! Also, Ochazuke is free for 1 hour from 9pm! It's all free!
There were plenty of massage chairs, and there were many famous manga titles, so I wanted to stay for several nights.
[General review] This was used by a couple in their 50s, and they were very satisfied. The location is good, the scenery is good, you can enjoy the pool and sea bathing in the summer, and the hot springs are also great!
The stars are beautiful at night, and it's a Showa bubble hotel!
There are some harsh reviews, but there is also a shortage of people in Reiwa...
[Request] Since the balcony is large, I would like to bring my pet along...!
I would like to use it again!

【施設】昭和感満載のホテルです。敷地が広大で連泊したいホテル。昭和感=古い。確かに古いですが、そこが良かった!
【温泉】入れば解りますよ!肌がスベスベ、ヌルヌルします!栃木の馬頭温泉に似た泉質。内湯はあつ湯もあり、サウナもありスーパー銭湯のようです。施設から独立した変わった場所にあります。24時間OK!
露天は施設から、ちょっと離れて海の近くにあります。露天は洗い場無し。露天は夜9時まで。
【部屋】別館4階に泊まりました。景色が最高に良いです!柵の無い開放的なバルコニーがあり、このバルコニーでの一杯が最高でした。部屋風呂がバルコニーに面してるので、夏場は部屋風呂の使い勝手が良いかも知れません。
【食事】オプションを選んだので、優先的に窓側でした。お酒のお供が多数あり、酒が進みます。他のホテルに比べると種類、デザートが少ないので子供にはご不満かも知れません。朝夕共に、大人には満足でした。
【無料サービス】到着から夕方5時までの生ビール無料は良かった!無料ドリンクバーは翌朝も提供してるので有り難い!湯上り処では、ヤクルトとアイスキャンディーが無料!また、21時から1時間はお茶漬けが無料!無料だらけで参りました!
マッサージチェアも台数に余裕があり、マンガも有名なタイトルが沢山あり、連泊したくなりました。
【総評】50代夫婦での利用でしたが、大満足でした。立地も良く、景色も良く、夏場はプールも海水浴も楽しめ、温泉も最高!
夜は星が綺麗で、昭和バブルのホテルです!
ちょっと辛口のクチコミもありますが、令和の人不足もあるので…。
【要望】バルコニーが広いので、ペットも一緒に来たいと思いました…!
また利用させて頂きたく思います!

(Translated by Google) The geopark Tomboro is famous.
The hotel itself is a bit run down.
Dinner was a semi-buffet. In terms of food content
I think there's one more thing. I don't think it can be helped considering the various things that have happened recently.
The bath is a natural hot spring and there is also a sauna.
When I visited, there was also a tent sauna available on the terrace.
The open-air bath was a little far from the bathroom, but the view was nice. However, the water was a little hot.

ジオパークのトンボロが有名です。

お風呂は天然温泉でサウナもあります。
伺った時はテラスでテントサウナも出来ました。
露天風呂は風呂場から少し離れて居ましたが、眺めは良かったです。ただ、お湯はちょっと熱めでした。

(Translated by Google) Used for work on weekdays.
The staff only meet at the front desk, and you need to make your own futons.
The inside was clean, and the lounge had manga, a drink bar, and beer, which was a big plus!
Since I was staying overnight without meals, I was able to drink at an izakaya a little further down the road, go home, and eat Ochazuke in the evening, which made me even happier (^^)
The location is perfect right in front of the sea! It was great to drink again while listening to the sound of the waves.
There's also a pool, so I think I'll come with my family next time!

平日に仕事で利用。
スタッフはフロントの方しか会わず、布団などもセルフ。
中は清潔だし、ラウンジにて漫画やドリンクバー、ビールも飲めたのは高得点!
素泊まりなので少し下った居酒屋で飲んで帰って、夜はお茶漬けも食べられたのでなお嬉しい(^^)
立地は海の目の前で🌊最高です!潮騒聞きながら飲み直して最高でした。
プールもあるので、今度は家族で来ようかなと!

Experience an exciting and delightful boat ride with the Yakatabune Dogashima Cave Tour. The journey, which costs a little amount of money, takes you through choppy waters that give you an exhilarating experience. Ensure to sit in the front or back of the boat without any covering to enjoy the full oceanic feel. The tour will take you into a cave where your experienced driver will make a u-turn skillfully showcasing their expertise on this 15-minute cruise.
The clear blue water made my heart so refreshed! The tour guiding is quite historical enough to made those rocks into something bigger and interesting. This is not just for kids but also adults can love it! We actually went so much close to the cave wall skin so the reality was well enough and amazing !

Dogashimais located at the coast of west Izu. From the port of Dogashima, you can travel to the Tensodo island's sea cave by "Dogashima marine" boat and see the breath-taking beauty of the magical blue cave when the ray of light penetrates through a big round hole in its ceiling.
Bon Voyage — Google review
暑い日でしたが海の上を走るボートの風が気持ちいい。洞窟内は青の洞窟みたいになっていて晴れてたから日差しが差し込んで綺麗でした。船着き場から階段を上っていくと展望台と天窓洞(船で入った洞窟)を上からのぞき込む事ができる。辺りの地形がおもしろい。当日は天候の具合で富士山が見えませんでしたが、下船時に「今日は富士山が見えなかったので代わりにどうぞ」と絵葉書を2枚頂きました。
(Translated by Google)
It was a hot day, but the breeze from the boat running on the sea felt great. The inside of the cave was like a blue cave and it was sunny, so the sun was shining and it was beautiful. If you go up the stairs from the dock, you can look into the observatory and the Tensodo (a cave you entered by boat) from above. The surrounding terrain is interesting. We couldn't see Mt.Fuji on the day due to the weather, but when we got off the boat, we were given two postcards saying, "I couldn't see Mt.Fuji today, so please use it instead."
JAPAN EnvironMentally FRIENDLY. — Google review
Awesome quick tour.. All you need for the reasonable ¥1500. Going in to the cave wasn't expected.. Captain's skills were impressive.. Make shure of calm weather before you visit.. Cave's sealing is pretty low and waves won't permit boat's entry... It's totally worth doing it.. Strongly recommended!
Kalin Tzilev — Google review
Really fun boat ride especially if the water is a bit choppy for more excitement. Be sure to ride in the back or front of the boat with no covering so you get the full feel of the ocean. The boat will go into a cave and proceed to do a u-turn which highlights the scale of the driver. While it's a short trip I think it was totally worth the little money it cost
Patrick Batac — Google review
The tour is really good but please be careful to check the condition of the wave on that day.

It was a plain cave tour. There weren't any major fascinating scenes. Mostly just volcanic rock formations. Good if you need a change in scenery.
Simon suck — Google review
私は平日だったので1500円で洞窟めぐりクルーズに参加しました。土日祝日になるとこの他に二種類のクルーズコースがあるそうです。プレミアムクルーズとジオグラフィックコースだったでしょうか。金額も少し高くなるそうですが、数百円でクルーズ時間が長くなりこの他の場所に行く事が出来るならジオグラフィックコースが良かったのですが残念ながら平日という事で諦めました。この船で洞窟に入るのですが、その場所というのが天窓洞という場所で青の洞窟とも呼ばれてるそうです。私の前には10人以上並んでました。で ここで大事なのが船の席ですよね。私は先日 軍艦島に行った時を思い出し船の最後尾の屋根のない席に向かう予定だったのですが、ここでまさかのアナウンスが…船の最後尾は少し濡れる事もありますがオススメです。的な事を言うじゃないですか!余計な事は言わんで良い!!!と思いましたが、そうなると皆さん最後尾に行く訳ですよ。私はというと最後尾の立ち見の場所に入れず透明の屋根のある場所に座るしかなく断念しました。この際屋根を全部無くせとも思いましたが、中には濡れたくない方もいると思います。私は旅中は着替えを沢山持って行くので濡れるのは全然OKなのです。まぁ洞窟の中なのですが暗い洞窟に入ると光が入り海水が青く見えるのがとても幻想的でした。洞窟の天井に穴が空いていてそこから光が入るのですが、海の青さは本当に綺麗でした。暗い洞窟に船で入るのはあまりない事と思うのですが、なかなか楽しかったです。最後に天窓洞と船をプリントしたうちわ(裏面はサンセット)がもらえます。最後尾に行けなかった方はもらいましょう。気分は晴れませんが...良い記念になると思います。どうしても最後尾が良いという方は早めに並ぶ事をオススメします。

Since it was a weekday, I took part in the cave tour cruise for 1,500 yen. It seems that there are two types of cruise courses besides this on weekends and holidays. Was it a premium cruise and a geographic course? It seems that the price will be a little higher, but if the cruise time is longer for a few hundred yen and you can go to other places, the geographic course would have been better, but unfortunately it was a weekday, so I gave up. This boat will take you to the cave, which is called Tensodo, also known as the Blue Cave. There were 10 people in line ahead of me. So, the important thing here is the seat on the boat. I remembered when I went to Gunkanjima the other day, and was planning to head to the back of the boat without a roof, but there was an unexpected announcement... I recommend going to the back of the boat, although it can get a little wet. Don't you say something like that! It's okay to say unnecessary things! ! ! I thought, but if that happens, everyone will go to the end. As for me, I had no choice but to sit in a place with a transparent roof instead of entering the last standing room. At this time, I thought about getting rid of all the roofs, but I think some people don't want to get wet. I bring a lot of clothes to change when I travel, so it's totally OK to get wet. Well, it's in a cave, but when you enter a dark cave, the light enters and the seawater looks blue, which was very fantastic. There is a hole in the ceiling of the cave and light enters through it, but the blue of the sea was really beautiful. I don't think it's common to enter a dark cave by boat, but it was quite fun. At the end, you will receive a fan with a Tensodo cave and a ship printed on it (sunset on the back). Let's get those who couldn't go to the end. I'm not feeling well, but I think it will be a good memory. If you really want to be at the end of the line, we recommend lining up early.

座る場所にもよると思いますが、私らは1番前の席に座ったので、程よい屋根や、水しぶきが少しかかるから爽快。風も気持ちよかった。海から見るのとても楽しかったです。
青の洞窟と思って行くと、期待外れになるので注意。青ではなく緑だから。

it was pretty good!
I think it depends on where you sit, but we sat in the front row, so the roof is just right and the water splashes a little, so it's refreshing. The wind felt good. It was a lot of fun to see it from the sea.
If you think it's a blue cave, you'll be disappointed, so be careful. Because it's green, not blue.

Visiting Dogashima in Japan is an experience that blends natural beauty with cultural richness. The area is renowned for its scenic coastline, which is a nationally designated spot, and the Dogashima Tensodo Cave1, a marine tunnel with a natural skylight that creates a mystical atmosphere.
You can enjoy your day 😍.
Saurav Mavi — Google review
Dogashima Cave in Japan is a mesmerizing natural wonder. The rugged coastline and crystal-clear waters provide a stunning backdrop for exploring this unique geological formation. Inside the cave, you'll be awestruck by the intricate rock formations and the soothing sounds of the sea echoing through the chambers. A must-visit spot for nature enthusiasts and photographers.
Free parking area available but it's not sufficient for large number of vehicles.

This is well worth a stop. The cave is spectacular from the boat, great to see all the volcanic rock features up close. Just a 20 minute ride, boats leave every few minutes, tickets from the kiosk nearby, so quick and easy. Longer or sunset trips also offered.

Wonderful boat ride between caves in ocean, 20 minutes ride for 1500Yen. Recommend activities.
Malik Allah Yar Khan — Google review
I was wavering about whether to go on this or not, thinking it might just be a short ride through a dark cave and be over, but it was so much more than that. They give you a tour of the entire coast line, and I took some of the most beautiful scenery photos I've taken in Japan of the cliffs and tunnels. The tour information is all in Japanese, but even if you don't understand anything it is well worth the trip for the sights alone.

The Toi Gold Mine, a centuries-old historic site, offers an exciting adventure for families with children. Although the journey to reach this landmark may be long, it is worth visiting. Visitors can explore tunnels and participate in panning experiences while admiring a vast gold nugget. Additionally, the well-maintained garden and museum within the mine provide interesting English explanations about its history. Most thrillingly, visitors can also pan for their own gold during their visit!
Very interesting, historical and relaxing walk through an old mine. English language on most info signs. Takes about 45 minutes to walk through the mine, and about 45 minutes for the "panning for gold" activity. Tiny gold pieces can be found fairly easily. The park is fun for kids and adults. If you're already in the area, then it's worth the visit.
Stephen Redeker — Google review
Great time to learn more about gold line in Japan! Your guide available in Japanese only, but lots of panels also in English. You can even try to find gold as side activity!!

Interesting history. The mineral mines in this area really made this place prosperous. It was fun learning about the mine and panning for gold. The garden was also very beautiful and picturesque. They have gold foil ice cream. There’s no taste to the gold but the ice cream was delicious. Good place to stop if you’re in the area. Their restaurant is open from 11:00-15:00 with last order at 14:30. There are food trucks in the parking lot.
Danielle M — Google review
In May 2022. We had a car to reach the gold mine, so it was convenient. Reaching it by bus might be more complicated as there are a few.
The entry fee was 1000 jpy per person, a bit more if you want to do the gold activity (which seems famous to the kids).
It was interesting, but the visit was quite short. I wouldn't recommend going unless you are in the vicinity.
Sebastien Marchand — Google review
Creatively illustrated process of gold mining procedures that was carried out in the past here. Apart from the tunnel visit, you also get to experience the process of filtering gold from the ore. It's sort of a back bending activity, however worth trying.
Sridhar Kris — Google review
Nice place to visit during holidays and see the gold tunnel and museums. It has the largest gold block in the world for display.
Chandrika — Google review
Interesting place to visit, one can understand the gold mining history of Japan from here.
The tunnels created for gold mining is kept and maintained for the visitors to walk around and see.
Through out the tunnel models are displayed explaining the life of miners.
There is a nice museum near, highlights are 12kg and 250kg gold. Visitors can touch and lift it(if you are strong enough).
Another attraction is the gold panning, at an extra cost we can try out luck in gold panning at the area provided near the gift shop.
One can get some interesting Omiyage from the gift shop here.
Overall a good experience worth the time for kids and adults.
Varghese Joseph — Google review
It is located in a rural area called Toi in the west Izu area. This place has historic importance of once being the second most productive gold mine in Japan. The tour preserves the history of mining and difficulties involved for the labourer working under the ground which had been subjected to extreme conditions of seepage of hot springs and hot lack of oxygen. The story is told with the help of mechanically animated models. They also have a gold panning experience which allows you to pan as much of gold as you want in 30 mins.
Chaitanya Krishna — Google review
"mining" gold is kind of a bit too short. They also use fake flowers for their "gods". It's very interesting to hold the world's biggest gold bar. 1000yen for the golden ice cream. Please buy from the grandma who is selling her handmade crafts within the Toi Gold Mine.

It’s quite a journey to get there, but good fun for kids. There’s a large, well-maintained garden, interesting museum in the original mine (with English explanations) and a chance to pan for your own gold.
Numazu Port is renowned for its delectable seafood, with a plethora of vendors offering fresh and dried fish, as well as numerous restaurants serving up gourmet dishes.

(Translated by Google) A large flock of "Mimihime Cormorant" found at Numazu Port.
The orange-billed cormorant is not a particularly rare bird that lives near Niagara Falls, the border between the United States and Canada, or Miami, Florida.
But they also live in Japan.
Although it is "U", it is actually a member of the family Pelecanidae.
He's a friend of Uno.
But why here?
Is Suruga Bay the deepest bay in Japan? Or is it because it's full of horse mackerel?
Suruga Bay is only 2 kilometers from the coast and reaches a depth of 500 meters. The deepest point is a whopping 2,500 meters. That's why you can often catch deep-sea fish here.
Wow, the deep sea is scary after all.
scary scary.

しかし、何でここに?
駿河湾は日本一深い湾からかな⁉️それとも鯵がいっぱいあるから⁉️

(Translated by Google) I went on May 4, 2023. As expected, it was crowded as it was Golden Week. I was planning to go to the deep sea aquarium with my kids, but the line was so long that I gave up. After eating, we went up to the large water gate ``Viewo'' and looked out at the sea and the city from the observation deck. When I got off on the opposite side of the port, I was able to go to the park. I took a walk and went back through Viewo again. At the end, we played on a sandy beach. There were small fish and the kids seemed to be having fun chasing them.
There were a lot of dragonflies, so you might want to be careful not to get attacked.

Numazu Minato Shinsenkan is a charming shopping center that offers an array of dining options specializing in sushi and other seafood delicacies along with local souvenir shops. The mall boasts of delectable fresh seafood and goods that are available in abundance, especially freshly caught fishes, which can be savoured as sushi. The ambiance of the place is delightful, making it a lovely spot to visit for foodies who love seafood.
A relatively new market that sells fish, dried fish and seafood related items. There are also restaurants and sweet shops inside. Great to relax on a hot summer day with AC.

It looks like the ``14th Minato Oasis Sea-Class Gourmet in Numazu'' will finally be held on Saturday and Sunday, October 29th and 30th.👍 Due to the coronavirus, the event has been undecided and has been delayed for a long time, but it feels like my long-awaited dream has finally come true. Is not it. I'm sure he'll be a great resource. I'm also thinking of adjusting my schedule and going somehow. Are you all going out? I’m looking forward to it~(^^)
At Minato Shinsenkokan, you can find tuna sashimi, etc. Dried fish are often bought outside at stores in shopping streets. I always buy horse mackerel, mackerel, and dried soy sauce mirin from Yondaime Yahei, which I will introduce in a separate article next time. Also, the souvenir that I always buy at Minato Shinsenkokan is ``Mekabut Tororo'', which I have also uploaded in the photo👍In the Showa era, it was sold at stores, but recently it has become more difficult to buy it. . “Ajiya” is the only one that sells it at Numazu Port. It's great for everyday cooking and miso soup (^^) Everyone, please try it at least once.

(Translated by Google) I'm concerned about the density of people, probably because it's indoors. I don't know if the air conditioning is used for ventilation, but physically no windows are open. Is it because of the traffic jam near the traffic lights? Traffic laws are also in a state of disarray.
There was a terrace on the port side where some people were taking a break. It might be a good idea to wait on the terrace for the pleasure boat.
The toilet is at the far end on the south side.

The Numazu Deep Sea Aquarium is a worthwhile destination for admirers of deep sea creatures. It features tanks containing a variety of well-maintained deep and shallow sea fishes, as well as invertebrates. The most notable exhibits include the dark room viewing of luminescent fishes from the deep sea and preserved specimens that come in blue and red colors, with hard bones stained red while soft ones are stained blue.
A must-visit in Numazu, likely one of the surprisingly best aquariums I’ve visited ever. We visited two hours before close on a weekday and there was a steady flow of visitors but it wasn’t too crowded at all. Compared to the chaos of the Osaka Aquarium that I visited last month, this was a much nicer experience.
Every tank is set up with so much care, and there is lots of information about the fishes. If you don’t know Japanese you’ll have to translate but it was no problem! My favorite exhibit was the isopod and ancient fish.

If you are interested in deep sea creature, feel free to visit here. Overall the place is small but for the fees you pay I think it's worth it.

A rare species that you only can see at the deep sea. There's a lot of species we are not familiar, a new in our eyes. It's a quite expensive but you will be amazed when you saw them in actual.

Loved every second of it. Very informative and I learnt a lot about fish and water animals that I had no idea existed!

The exhibition at this aquarium was very nice. However, there are two problems. One is that the only payment method is cash. The second is that the staff's response is not good. The staff at the admission ticket office responded according to the manual, and the five-member family customer in front of me pitifully stopped admission and went home. The staff who guides you at the entrance cannot guide you smoothly. As a result, the passage before going to the back of the building became a large line, and many people complained. The end of the large line was very empty. I was disappointed. The inside of the aquarium was vacant and comfortable, unlike the area near the entrance. The exhibition of deep-sea fish was also devised. It was fun to watch.

THE COOLEST AQUARIUM I HAVE EVER VISITED! I like aquariums and museums. And this place has got great mix of both. They have very interesting deep sea creatures that you don’t find in regular aquariums and great ways of showing them. And the highlight of this place is their coelacanth museum! I don’t know anywhere else that you can see frozen coelacanths or a fish print of it. It was so cool. If you like aquariums or deep sea, this is a must visit place.

A great petit deep sea aquarium worth to visit. Tanks containing deep and shallow sea fishes as well as invertebrates are maintained very well. My highlights are dark room viewing of deep sea luminescent fishes and beautifully preserved fishes that come in blue and red. It says hard bones are stained red and soft ones by blue. They not just attached scientific interest but are really piece of art!
I would say relatively high admission of 1,600 pays considering its quality. Enjoy!
Me Me — Google review
Fantastic little aquarium. Lots of Japanese tourists but almost no foreign tourists at all. It has the most extensive coelacanth exhibit and a wide variety of deep sea animals. Entrance fee is 1600 yen per adult. Queue can be a little long because the start of the exhibit requires you to queue up but the line moves quickly as people are very polite. A must go if you are in Suruga bay. Lots of restaurants around after you are done. Keep your ticket as sometimes the restaurants offer discounts when you show the ticket.

Very wonderful place to visit! You may spend 60-90 mins or more if you like. Opened in 2012 and getting popular once NHK, national broadcasting, released the video that captured gigantic squid alive in the deep sea.
Top features: 1) Coelacanths (both frozen and stuffing): Very rare in Japan due to strict trading rules these days. Those are imported before the regulations were effective.
2) Bathynomus giganteus
3) Fresh local deep sea creatures (Suruga bay is the deepest bay in Japan.)
One staff answered my questions so sincerely and in details. So nice! It seemed staffs are proud of and enjoy working there. They are effectively displaying all creatures, and hold some presentations (Japanese only by staffs).
Overall, kids must love this place and even some adults can enjoy a lot surely. Highly recommended place to visit! Note that weekends are so crowded. Go in the morning or weekdays. ;) Enjoy!

It is a cute small aquarium, roughly would take 1.5 hours and 2 hours if you are really into learning deep sea. Beside the deep sea, they also some shallow reef organisms. The route is clear, tanks are diverse with clear Japanese and English explanation. They are keeping flapjack octopus and seems doing a good job on extending the cultivate period. The best part will be the collection of Coelacanth specimen, they are exhibit a dry one and two frozen.

Yamanashi Prefectural Maglev Exhibition Center is a must-visit for train enthusiasts. It showcases the future world’s fastest bullet train and features an exciting test track where visitors can witness the maglev in action, reaching speeds of up to 500 km/hr. The center offers informative exhibits on the cutting-edge technology behind this revolutionary mode of transportation, which aims to significantly reduce travel times between Kofu and Tokyo.
Terrific. Hard to reach. But worth it. The maglev train passes every 10 mins at up to 500 kph.

都留インターチェンジから車で10分ほど。施設から少し離れた場所に無料駐車場がある。施設横には身体障害者用の駐車場もある。
実験線の横に2棟の見学施設がある。敷地入口から奥にある施設がメインの見学施設となっている。施設には、過去に試験車両として運行された実物車両が展示されている。
各フロアには、ジオラマやリニアモーターカーの開発史をまとめた映像の放映など見応えのある展示などがある。
実験線でのリニアモーターカーの運行は午前10:30から。
宮崎県での実験からずいぶん歴史を重ねてきた。1日も早い営業運転が楽しみ。

About 10 minutes by car from Tsuru Interchange. Free parking is available a short distance from the facility. There is also a disabled parking lot next to the facility.
There are two observation facilities next to the experimental line. The facility behind the site entrance is the main facility for visitors. The facility displays actual vehicles that were operated as test vehicles in the past.
On each floor, there are spectacular exhibits such as dioramas and videos summarizing the development history of maglev trains.
The linear motor car service on the experimental line starts at 10:30 am.
A lot of history has been accumulated since the experiment in Miyazaki Prefecture. I'm looking forward to the early business operation on the 1th.

If you are interested in trains you can easily spend 2-3 hours here. They do an excellent job of catering to foreign visitors with many of the displays, pamphlets and cinema experience subtitles offered in Japanese and English. To see the test runs, check the website calendar to see which days the tests will be run. Staff do not know when exactly the train will pass by. They run multiple tests per day and you can see on the screens/ hear in the (Japanese only) announcements when the train is about to pass by. Over the course of our 3 hour morning visit we saw the train go by about 8-10 times. There is a space on the second floor (both in the main building and the souvenir shop) with vending machines where you can sit and eat.

先日日帰り旅行の帰りに立ち寄りました。
私が小さい頃から家族旅行などで圏央道を走るたびに気になってはいたのですが大人になりようやく訪れることが出来ました。
施設の駐車場は大変広く車が停めやすいです。
また、どきどきリニア館までは小さいですが通路に屋根があり、当日雨が降っていたので大変助かりました。
リニアの見学センターはとてもきれいで、トイレや売店なども
大変きれいでした。
また、伺った時間にちょうど実演イベントをおこなっており、司会のかたが丁寧に解説し実演を行なっておりました。リニアがどのように浮いているのか、仕組みを詳しく解説しておりお子さんから大人まで楽しめると思います。
※私は大人ですがお子さんの自由研究などにもピッタリと思います。
また、山梨県の観光施設を紹介するジオラマもクオリティが大変素晴らしく、電車やリニアも走っており、とても楽しめました。
私は見れませんでしたが大迫力の試験走行をおこなっている日も
あるようなので気になっている方は事前に確認をいただいた方がよさそうです。
※試験走行は見れませんでしたが大変楽しめました。
こういった博物館が大好きなので、これからも末長く営業をしていただきたく思います。
2027年の運行も楽しみにしております。

I stopped by on my way home from a day trip the other day.
Since I was a child, I was interested in it every time I ran on the Ken-O Expressway on family trips, but as an adult I was finally able to visit.
The parking lot at the facility is very large and easy to park.
In addition, although it is small, the walkway to the Doki Doki Maglev Museum has a roof, which was very helpful as it was raining that day.
The maglev tour center is very clean, and there are restrooms, shops, etc.
It was very beautiful.
Also, a demonstration event was being held just at the time we visited, and the moderator was giving a detailed explanation and demonstration. I think that both children and adults can enjoy it because it explains in detail how the linear system floats and how it works.
* I am an adult, but I think it is perfect for children's free research.
Also, the quality of the diorama that introduces tourist facilities in Yamanashi Prefecture is very good.
I wasn't able to see it, but there was also a day when they were doing a powerful test run.
It seems that it is better to check in advance if you are interested.
*I could not see the test run, but I enjoyed it very much.
I love museums like this, so I hope they will continue to be open for a long time to come.
We are looking forward to the operation in 2027.

Good place where you can learn about the concept on magnetic levitation train and can experience actual test. It is also possible to enjoy mini lavi. Highly recommended for both children and adults who have interest on new technologies.
However the access for the location from highway was little bit confusing. The roads are very small.

Unfortunately, foreign tourists are unable to apply for a test ride. But the rest of the exhibition centre is still great, with some of the best foreign language support in Japan. During test run days, the linear runs past about every 5 minutes. The diorama is really good and displays a lot of attractions around Yamanashi in an interesting way. The staffs are knowledgeable and welcoming as well. Definitely recommend for train lovers and families.

静岡県知事のおかげでにわかに盛り上がるリニア。お土産屋さんの店名が「STORE2027」ですけど、開通が延期されたら変更されるんだろうか…。
さて、この施設があるのは山梨県都留市。静岡方面からの道中の国道沿いにはスーパーやホームセンター、電気量販店など点在しており、なかなか住みやすそうな街である印象。実際、新しい戸建てをちらほら見かけます。
リニア見学センターはそんな町の外れの山あいにあり、まわりはのどかな田園風景が広がっています。
一般車の駐車場と施設が少し離れていて、坂道の移動なのでベビーカーの方は注意が必要です。
今回我が家は0歳と2歳連れで長時間滞在は難しそうだったので「どきどきリニア館」のみ利用。
おとなひとり420円。安い。
走行する姿は見られませんでしたが、リニアモーターカーの実物車両、各種資料、ミニリニア、実験の見学など、見ごたえのある内容で大満足でした。
キッズルームもありますが、コロナ対策で予約制、キッズルーム内の使用エリアの制限があります(子どもが守れるとは思えないですか)。

Thanks to the governor of Shizuoka Prefecture, the maglev train is booming. The name of the souvenir shop is "STORE2027", but I wonder if it will change if the opening is postponed...
By the way, this facility is located in Tsuru City, Yamanashi Prefecture. Along the national highway from Shizuoka, there are supermarkets, home centers, electronics stores, etc., and the impression is that it is a very livable town. In fact, I see new detached houses here and there.
The Linear Observation Center is located in the mountains on the outskirts of such a town, surrounded by idyllic rural scenery.
The parking lot for general cars is a little far from the facility, and you need to be careful with strollers because it is a slope.
This time, my family was 0 and 2 years old and it seemed difficult to stay for a long time, so we only used "Pounding Linear Hall".
420 yen per adult. cheap.
Although we didn't get to see the train in action, we were very satisfied with the spectacular contents, such as the actual linear motor car, various materials, a mini-maglev train, and a tour of experiments.
There is also a kids' room, but due to corona measures, reservations are required and the area in the kids' room is limited (don't you think that children can be protected?).

Dream of a swinging train, almost fly in the air. A linear motor produces straight-line motion rather than rotation. The Superconducting Maglev levitates about 4 inches above the guideway and travels up to 311mph. Magnetic force prevents the train from crashing into guideway walls.
The magnets employed are superconducting, which means that when they are cooled to less than 450 degrees Fahrenheit below zero, they can generate magnetic fields up to 10 times stronger than ordinary electromagnets, enough to suspend and propel a train.
Superconductors only gain their superconducting powers at these really cold temperatures. In their super conducting state, they will levitate on a magnetic track because at this super cold temperature the electrons in the atoms of the ceramic material interact with the magnetic fields from the magnets on the track.

Superb experience of watching highest speed maglev trains running at a speed of 525 kmph on Yamanashi test track.
Took the experience of maglev technology. It was really amazing.
The atmosphere at Otsuki was too much chilling @-4deg. We traveled Japanese buses and trains to come back to Hotel at Tokyo Kanda.
The afternoon we managed with cakes, breads and chocolate 😊

Alrighty - Full English guide for it:
Worth a visit! But only on test days, otherwise the train is not running between the stations. You will find the test days on the website. On the day I was there, itkept running between the stations every 5-10minutes, you will be able to photograph it from both directions very frequently.
You will NOT be able to ride the train, this is not happening here and only possible as japanese citizen plus months or years of waiting in advance (and I think it is a lottery).
A bit annoying to get to, either you get off at Kasei station when coming from Mt Fuji, or Tanokura station when coming from Tokyo. From both it is around 20min walking, while from Kasei station with additional steep walk! Rely on Google Maps, that works fine - although there are no signs pointing the way. Couldnt find any bus connection directly to the centre. You could also walk from the JR station from Otsuki, but this will take 1hr, however you would be able to reach the centre with the JR Pass, as the stations beyond Otsuki are not operated by JR and therefore you need to pay (and it’s comparatively expensive). Bring a Suica or Pasmo Card, as the ticket machine at Tanokura is not working!
If you have a car - easy going, free parking lot.
The Maglev exhibition centre is between the two ends, so you will be able to experience the roughly 500km/h outside on a terrace or inside from the observatory for 420 yen. There is also a free observatory about 50m further.
The exhibition is well made, and there will be a big explanation about the used tecnique, however most will be in japanese. Nice little shop, total of 3 floors, free coin locker available (100yen deposit).
Overall 5 stars (on test days), minus half for accessibility by public transport.
Eike der Wikinger — Google review
Ideally a visit here will include a ride on the Maglev train. However, if that is not possible and you don't speak Japanese than an hour will be more than enough to see the museum. There are exhibits explaining the science behind magnetic levitation, but there is no English. The rest of the exhibits are totally aimed at children and can be enjoyed regardless of language. A really good rainy day option.
Judy OBrien — Google review
It is a great place to see the Maglev going fastest in front of your eyes. They have exhibited whole experience in the form of dummy train, it’s mechanism and a short movie as well. You can drink coffee/cocoa from the vending machines inside.

It's a great place to witness the past and the future, as well as the ongoing developments of the Japanese superconducting maglev. The small museum houses an original maglev cab and the magnets themselves too. Most of the information is written in Japanese only, the occasional demo about how superconductivity works is also conducted in Japanese only. There is a viewing platform so one can watch the maglev test-runs on selected days. There is also a small park across the tracks where one can get an even better view on this section of the future Chuo shinkansen.
Mishima Taisha Shrine is a beautiful and peaceful Shinto temple located in Shizuoka prefecture. The grounds are well-maintained with manicured gardens and house a small museum displaying historical relics. One of the highlights is the 3800-year-old tree, which happens to be the third oldest tree alive. Cherry blossom season offers breathtaking views. The shrine is conveniently located within walking distance from Mishima station, making it easily accessible for visitors.

The Saruhashi bridge is a unique and historically significant wooden bridge located in a scenic park filled with maple and ginkgo trees that are particularly popular during autumn. With dimensions of 30.9m length, 3.3m width, and 31m height, it is supported by four layers of Hanegi without any piers. The well-constructed bridge provides stunning views of the surrounding water body and is connected to a museum via stairs leading down from the park.
The Saruhashi Bridge (猿橋) is also known as the 'monkey bridge'. Spanning the gorge of the Katsura River, it is a prime example of the hanebashi design. The bridge is supported by a series of cantilever beams set in the opposing cliff faces. Built mid-18th century, the Saruhashi was along the Koshu Kaido (main highway of the Edo period). We briefly stopped to enjoy the elegant design of the bridge and the scenic beauty of the gorge filled with ginkgo and maple trees.
The name 'monkey bridge' is associated with a local legend in which monkeys bridged the chasm with their bodies so that a couple could cross during the Nara period. A later story tells that the original rickety plank structure was so precarious that "only an agile monkey could cross it".
Edward Keller — Google review
It’s historically important wood bridge, Saruhashi. It’s so beautiful.
With a length of 30.9m, a width of 3.3m, and a height of 31m, it is a special one that does not use piers at all, and is supported by four layers of ”Hanegi” that overhang from both banks that rise sharply.

Saruhashi Bridge, which spans the deep and beautiful valley of the Katsuragawa River, is called one of Japan's three strange bridges, along with ``Iwakuni Kintai Bridge'' and ``Kiso Pier'' due to its unusual structure. The unique scenery of the bridge, which spans a beautiful valley that changes with the seasons, is said to be one of the most scenic spots on the Koshu Highway, and has been visited by many writers and artists. Among them, Hiroshige Utagawa (Ando) was so moved by the beauty of Saruhashi that he left behind a book called ``Koyo Saruhashi no Zu''.

This place is impressively huge and one of the best tax free shopping experiences I've had.
There are several zones and plenty of food options available, so you can choose to spend an entire day here. I spent about 1.5 hours and it's seriously too short. I would recommend 3-4 hours for shopping alone, and perhaps 5-6 if wish to factor in meal time and perhaps factor in entertainment for the kids.
I was pleasantly surprised to see how well thought the outdoor mall is, with impressive playground and a mini theme park to keep younger children engaged.
This is my first trip, but I'll definitely return again for at least 4-6 hours in the near future.

Came to this premium outlet in hopes of catching a stunning view of Mount Fuji, following our drive to Lake Kawaguchiko. However, luck wasn't in our favor as thick clouds veiled the majestic peak, leaving us unable to behold its beauty. So if you come here for the Mt Fuji, you may consider check the weather first.
Additionally, during our visit in mid-February, we observed that many shops in the outlet appeared to be experiencing slow sales.

This natural wonder is steeped in folklore and boasts stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Visitors can park their cars in the lot and take a lengthy staircase to reach the base of the falls, where they can witness wasabi cultivation that takes advantage of the area's pristine water sources. Fishing enthusiasts will appreciate access to a nearby pond service on the river.
It was a very beautiful waterfall. I parked my car in the parking lot. A waterfall can be seen far below the parking lot. Take a long, long staircase to the waterfall. When I got down to the bottom, wasabi, a special product of Izu, was cultivated. It is agriculture that makes use of clean water. There was a fishing pond service on the river, and many people enjoyed fishing. There is a beautiful waterfall in front of you, and you can feel the negative ions throughout your body. On the way back, you have to go up the long long stairs. I am very tired. However, it is worth going to the bottom to see the waterfall.

Beautiful falls. It's a short walk down a bunch of stairs. Good brief cardio work out. The souvenir store supports region pay in case you have the coupons.

The photos don't do it justice, it was more spectacular than I thought, especially in the rain. The surprising bonus was the small wasabi farm also in the gorge, so you can see the waterfall and get your wasabi hit (including buying fresh wasabi) in the same place.
There are about 200 steps and no wheelchair accessibility. No toilets in the gorge either.
Douglas Aberdeen — Google review
This was a really beautiful spot to come and relax and take a short break away from Tokyo. It seems they created an irrigation system using the waterfall to continuously water all the wasabi plants, so the sound of all the water rushing through us really relaxing. They offer fishing and even sell some wasabi ice cream (it’s just vanilla ice cream with some wasabi on top. Be careful it’s super spicy haha we got heartburn after eating it and walking up all the steps). Definitely recommend it as a quick stop to anyone passing through Shizuoka, especially for the first time.

Pretty small waterfall might be better to try the trout fishing? Seems that would be a fair attraction I guess. Not bad for a pit stop or ice cream stop.

Waterfall is around 15mins walk from the parking area.
There is huge Wasabi farm around the waterfall.
Fresh wasabi from yard is kept for selling.
Shopping area is available near the parking area with all variety of WASABI snacks and ice cream.
Beautiful place to relax and enjoy nature.

Good place to fish and see wasabi farm! Nice cooling and magnificent waterfall!
Tony Budianto Bee — Google review
Japan is well known for its beautiful waterfalls, and Joren Falls is exceptional. What makes it interesting is there is a wasabi farm next to the falls.. (so you can actually see how wasabi is grown). Also interesting is that you can go trout fishing from the river (for a fee). It’s well paved with wide steps which are steep, so the return back to the car park could be daunting. Free parking is available. Also on site is a souvenir shop that sells fresh wasabi and snacks.

A nice place to stop on the route 414 or driving from Izu to Kawazu city. A waterfall with huge amount of water can be seen there after getting down around 150 stairs.
Parking is completely free.
There are several shops for souvenirs.

Do you like falls? do you like wasabi? This place is a two for one. Yeah it's a tourist trap but one that I think that you will like if I was in the area I'd visit again. It is that nice. A little old. A little rundown but that's the charm.

One of the countless hidden wonders of the area. If you are ever in Shizuoka, you can't leave without going through this mini jungle view that has a waterfall as a bonus. The most impressive to me is seeing the wasabi grow in the surreal clean water.
Motorbike-friendly rest stop with a cafe, produce market & a suspension bridge over the Doshi River.
It’s a biker’s paradise, there are plenty of nice twisty roads you can enjoy. This is a perfect location to set as a meeting point. Place gets really crowded during summer months, and unfortunate some fatal traffic accidents occurred. Wear proper protective gear and ride safe. Cops are also enforcing laws around the area.

Kisami Ohama beach is a popular destination for surfers due to its long, undeveloped white-sand beach. It is considered one of the best beaches in the world and can be completely empty at certain times of the year. Free parking is available but subject to fees during summer season. Visitors should beware of high tides which can sweep away belongings. There are some restaurants nearby and vending machines in the parking lot.
More beautiful with solitude. Nice for loner like me.

The Nirayama reverberatory furnace is a significant historical site that dates back to the Edo period, specifically built in 1857. It features brick-and-steel chimneys measuring 15.7 meters and serves as a crucial landmark for marking the beginning of Japan's industrial revolution. Despite the language barrier, visitors can learn about the iron smelting process through an English brochure or by watching videos in Japanese.
I was treated very kindly when I came I to the Nirayama Reverberatory Furnaces Historical site. I do not speak any Japanese and the employees were so helpful by giving me an English brochure to learn more about this very important site to mark the beginning of the Japanese industrial revolution. The video was in Japanese but I understood the iron smelting process. Fascinating! I like history.
Wendy Will Travel — Google review
Well, for a recognized and designated world heritage structure, it didn't really exude any of the "wow" factor. And to be honest it was a lot smaller than I expected, details and information around the furnace were quite lacking for visitors
The tourist center did put up some decent exhibits (all in Japanese though) and information in regards to the history of the industrial revolution in Japan and how the furnace was a symbol of Japan's initial attempts at kick-starting the steel/metal industry.
The surrounding area is surprisingly nice. With a tea plantation terrace nearby, and nestled in a quiet, quaint neighborhood.

M S (Heyhey) — Google review
Disappointing! I respect the historical value of the furnace but I was extremely disappointed about its tourist information center. I am a foreigner living in Osaka and my hobby is to travel to different UNESCO World Heritage Sites. This time my target was this furnace in Shizuoka so I emailed the Nirayama Reverberatory Furnace Tourist Information a week before if it's open on the travel date that I planned. They replied yes and gave me the opening hours. I went as planned only to find out that the whole furnace building was under construction covered with scaffolding and thick net. Very disappointed about the dishonesty of the information center. They could have just warned me like "yes it's open but the building is covered due to construction". I went all the way from Osaka spending 2-way shinkansen tickets just for this one (I didn't go anywhere else as I have traveled almost all places around). REALLY DISAPPOINTING SERVICE. The reason why I emailed prior is because I know and understand that most UNESCO-acknowledged buildings in Japan are under reconstruction taking advantage of the pandemic season. I hope the tourist information center was MORE INFORMATIVE that's why they are called information center in the first place. Tourists go and see the furnace not only for historical value but also for its architectural value (which we cannot see as it is covered). We don't go there to pay and to listen from tour guides about the history. We could search the history on the internet! In the end no beautiful picture for my UNESCO Site album. To the information center, please be informative and not just make business. I could have rescheduled my trip after the construction if only you told me the truth. Do not waste people's money, time and effort!

Well worth visiting if you're passing within 30 minutes or so. Would be better if you speak Japanese, as the interior museum has no English translations. There where many guides available when I visited (August), who had an interesting English script and were very friendly.

By chance, rain clouds were approaching and I had to descend the mountain in a hurry. I wish I could have done it more slowly.

Kuzuryū Shrine Hongū is a Shinto shrine located in Hakone, Japan. Dedicated to the dragon god of matchmaking, it features a torii gate and scenic trails that provide stunning views of the forested lake. The shrine is considered one of the most popular power spots in Hakone for visitors seeking spiritual solace. Its buildings are exquisitely crafted with great attention to detail like pieces of furniture, which is typical of Japanese shrines.
Short scenic walk from Togendai and you can avoid crowds going to the more popular Tori gate via the ferries.
Dennis Yeo — Google review
The peaceful surroundings and the sound of the water fountains made it a great place to meditate and reflect. I also appreciated the opportunity to make offerings and perform traditional rituals.
The shrine grounds were also beautiful, with carefully tended gardens and walking paths that offered a chance to take in the natural beauty of the area. The main gate and the torii (Japanese traditional gate) were also very beautiful and nicely designed.

It's kind of a long walk from Togendai for a small park with shrine and the admission costs money. People were using leaf blowers right at the shrine when I went so it was not very peaceful. Very pretty but wouldn't go out of my way for this otherwise. The hike up is somewhat scenic though if you have the time.

Shirahama Beach is a popular destination on the Izu Peninsula, known for its bustling atmosphere and stunning natural beauty. The beach features white sand and turquoise waters with picturesque mountain views. It is a part of Shimoda, a charming beach town that offers various attractions such as hotels, restaurants, and beach shacks. While Shirahama Beach is the most popular choice for many visitors, some opt for the neighboring and less crowded Shirahama Ohama.
Beautiful beach. Wide sandy area. Clear and clean water. Many surfers in the water.
Many parking options along beach. I paid 1000 and the lot closed at 4pm (a bit steep - explore other lots). A good idea is to stop at the 7-11 across from the beach, and get some snacks before. Also nice to have clean change rooms and bathroom facilities on site.

One of the most famous beaches around Izu. From Shimoda Station, take the bus or taxi. The water is beautiful, but when I went in the early season it was too cold! Check for the local season of festival and fireworks. The fireworks specially are magnificent and you can watch it from the beach. Coming from Tokyo, I stayed one night at the local ryokan (guest house) and it was a wonderful weekend.

White sands and amazing waves. Many facilities, parking lots and convenes stores around. Perfect place for holiday making.
The ebb and tide movement is very strong, even when you place your beach sheet away from the water, from 3-4 pm the tides grow stronger and water can reach to your sheet area so better place your sheet/ tent further away if planing to stay for prolonged time.

It was surreal experiencing the beach at night in off season and under a full moon. It's a very calm, peaceful, and serene beach with pleasant waves. Definitely one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen, with white sand. The waters were really clean and one of the bluest I've ever seen during the day. The beach is also known for surfing and you can see the locals early in the morning riding the waves.

Mostly nice soft sand as you get closer to the water. Tide can come start to rise early (around 2 or 3ish), but there’s still some parts of the beach where you can sit. It can it crowded though there is room for you to have your own space. Parking is 1000¥ right next to the beach and it is limited. There is also parking across the street next to family mart. There are showers also 300¥ for 3 mins (they are in a portable potty).

When I finally stopped, I came to collect 1000 yen, but it happened to be only 10,000 yen, so when I asked "Do you have change?" He reluctantly started looking for change, and ended up saying, "Count. ’ and let me count. In the first place, it is assumed that a large number of customers will come, and even if there is no change, can you say that it is a job to tell the customer that you are busy? It was the worst impression. Never again.

It was the last day of the three-day weekend, and the weather was nice, and we had been interviewed on Nippon Television Zip the day before, so we expected it to be quite crowded, but there were certainly a lot of people, but we were able to find parking and enjoy the food stalls and cherry blossoms. It was.
As for parking, a neighbor provides a temporary parking lot (1000 yen per day) on the premises, so you can park almost anywhere. However, it is not paved, so please be careful with wheelchairs and strollers.
There are rows of cherry trees along the river, and there are food stalls dotted along the way, so if you want to enjoy eating while walking, if you eat your fill at first, you won't be able to continue.
If you want to take a walk towards Shimoda, the coast is also a good option.

(Translated by Google) This year, cherry blossoms are in full bloom everywhere in Kawazu Town...
I heard that this has never happened before.
I think it was because we had a series of warm days even though it was February, but the contrast between the yellow rape blossoms and the slightly pink Kawazu cherry blossoms was amazing🎵
When we went down to the riverbed, there were cherry blossoms that lined the river, and it was amazing to see it going on forever 😃💕
However, the weather was nice and the cherry blossoms were in full bloom (it was even featured on the TV news), and it was Sunday, so it was very crowded and traffic jams~😵
I was participating in a bus tour, but I arrived a lot late, and soon after I started walking around, the lights started to light up...I was lucky to see both of them😉✌️
On the way home, there was a huge traffic jam and I couldn't catch the last train, so I ended up staying the night, taking the first train home, and heading straight to work.

帰り道も大渋滞で終電に乗れず、急遽、一泊して始発で帰ってそのまま仕事に出かける事になってしまいました~😅

(Translated by Google) I heard that the Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival was being held here, so I visited there.
Parking is excellent and uniform. There are also stalls where you can eat while walking, so you can enjoy the Kawazu cherry blossoms while having a drink and snacking on some food.
However, there are no trash cans. You will need to dispose of it yourself.

河津桜まつりを行っていると聞き訪れました。
駐車場は一律で素晴らしい。また、食べ歩きができるように屋台がありますのでお酒を飲みながら、少し食べ物をつまみながら、河津桜を楽しめます
ただし、ゴミ箱はありません。各自で処分が必要です。

(Translated by Google) There is also a footbath a few minutes walk away, which is great for relaxing. I stop by every time for local vegetables and bread. Pizza-la came today (2022/03/19)

徒歩数分のところに足湯もあり、のんびり過ごすのに良い。地元の野菜やパンが目当てで毎回立ち寄ってます。今日(2022/03/19)はPizza-laが来てた

(Translated by Google) The cherry blossoms were hardly in bloom, so the parking lot and tourist office were empty.
It's the first day of the cherry blossom festival.

桜はほとんど咲いていなかったため、駐車場も観光協会もガラガラでした。
桜祭り初日です。
