After I finished to prepare some things for today’s guests I went out for biking in this afternoon.
It was rainy this morning but it was changed at around 11:00 am and it became sunny after that.
I took this photo at 3:30 pm but the water was still blue and beautiful, and I could see Toshima island, one of Izu seven islands, over the ocean.
.
According weather forcast it will be sunny tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
It was very beautiful day today too.
There are many ships on the ocean and I could see Izu Oshima Island under the blue sky.
I wanted to go to the beach today but I couldn’t because of my job.
"It can’t be helped."
I was talking to myself and took this picture from our guest room.
I went to the beach with my son, Yuuki today. (Yuuki is on the bottom of this photo.)
I took this picture by the river at the center of the beach.
It was rainy and very cold yesterday, but it became warm today and the air was clear.
So I could see Izu seven island over the ocean.
Let’s move to the south point of this beach….
We have some cherry trees in our garden.
This afternoon my son, yuuki said,
"I want to play with my tricycle outside!
He is boring to play alone in his room and he wants to play outside.
"OK, Yuuki. Let’s go!"
When we went out and I found Sakura tree has a lot of buds on it, and when I was going to take photos I noticed that this tree has already had some blossoms.
Yes, spring has come to Shirahama!
Cherry blossom festival will take place from February 5th or 7th this year.
I got up early this morning and I left my home with my daughter to go to school.
On the way to school I found that the sun was just rising on the horizon, so I started to run to take photos.
Today we had big waves in Shirahama and I could take this photo with the water broken by stone.
As we didn’t have customers we went to Shirahama Shrine today.
The Japanese usually go to shrine to pray for health, happy and success at the new year.
This shrine has a history of more than 2,500 years, so this is a oldest shrine in Izu peninsula.
After praying in the shrice we went to the sea behind this shrine…..
Thank you for staying at Sakuraya last year.
We are looking forward to meeting you this year again.
We wish you a happy new year!!
