Yamanashi

The trip started from Narita Airport and went directly to Shimoda in Shizuoka Prefecture, and then to Kamakura. The JR Tokyo Wide Pass can save a lot of transportation costs and can be used for three consecutive days, which is very convenient.

Although we encountered drizzle and dense fog early in the morning, it didn't dampen our spirits at all. Instead, we were lucky enough to experience two completely different views of Mt. Omuro! Initially, the cable car ride up was met with thick fog and strong winds, like a typhoon, making it impossible to see anything. We circled around and then got off to browse for souvenirs. Unexpectedly, the fog cleared up, and we immediately decided to take the cable car back up. Finally, we managed to capture the legendary, incredibly beautiful "Matcha Mountain" view after the fog lifted! The cable car here is really cool; you sit directly on the chairs and pull down the safety bars, truly giving you the feeling of walking on air to the summit. Looking up and down offers different perspectives, highly recommended! Because we spent a relatively long time at Mt. Omuro and were worried about running out of time, we didn't visit the nearby Izu Chaboten Zoo. Next, we took the ocean-view train. Although it was only a short section, the experience of seeing the sea along the way was still very enjoyable. Our next stop was Kinosaki Coast, which can only be described as "absolutely stunning"! Luckily, the weather cleared up when we arrived in the afternoon, making every photo beautiful. A huge thank you to our driver! He not only acted as our tour guide the whole way, providing excellent information, but also thoughtfully took photos for everyone at the last stop. He was truly dedicated. Overall, today's itinerary was very relaxed, with minimal walking, so we weren't tired at all. The return trip was a three-hour drive, and we really appreciated the driver's hard work! We highly recommend this day trip; it was full of memorable moments!

It is very convenient. You can already draw the place when you change the ticket. And include a Matsushima Fun Day Pass when you buy. The voucher is very cheap, you can exchange fried oysters, you can take a boat, you can exchange grilled fish cakes, and you can get two packs of pancakes. I wanted to eat another oyster and senbei, but the shop is temporarily renovated and can't be opened. If I come again next time, I will buy this one package again.
