Higashi-Izu

We went to see turtles. To our surprise, there were turtles everywhere, far more than we expected, and we had a great time touching them! It's hot in the summer, but we definitely want to go again! The kids were a little scared though, haha.

He was very consistent with showing up whenever we needed him to and brought us to the exact places we were looking for during our trip! He was also very kind and understanding throughout the 2 days we had him. He let us have drinks and snacks in the car also which was very considerate. Lastly, he had to adjust to a sudden schedule change because we wanted to go to a location that wasn’t planned, but he took us there with no trouble! Overall, I couldn’t ask for a better driver, Sun made our two day trip go really smoothly!

I bought advance tickets through KKday and went to the Atagawa Banana Crocodile Garden, a place I'd always wanted to visit. I took my time looking around at the many crocodiles, the plants in the greenhouse, the cute red pandas, and watching the crocodiles being fed. After having some food and drinks at the parlor and buying souvenirs at the shop, more than four hours had passed, and I was surprised at how much fun I'd had. It took about 50 minutes by train from Atami, but it was well worth the trip.
