Shizuoka

Although it was the rainy season, the weather held out just long enough, with no rain and even some sunshine, allowing my family to enjoy a stroll from the upper shrine down to the lower one. We also enjoyed shopping at the souvenir shops. The stroll was so enjoyable that it took longer than expected, so we informed the Italian restaurant we had booked in advance that we would be arriving late, but they kindly accommodated us, and we made it to Coda Rossa, located near the parking lot. For lunch, we ordered several pasta and pizza dishes, and everything was delicious, with my family saying "delicious, delicious!" as we ate! If we go to the Atami area again, we would like to visit Akao Forest.

Thank you Rachel for taking care of us, we had a great time!

Our driver was early and so kind and careful with all of our luggage. He even shared some cool details about the spots we were passing along the way! I hope he can be our driver on our next trip!

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.

It was my first time there. The scenery was absolutely amazing!! I brought my dog with me, but we didn't have any problems at all; we were able to ride the cable car and explore together, which was wonderful. The staff were also very helpful. Thank you!!
