They live in Kanagawa Pref. and came to Shimoda for the 1st time.
They departed from Kanagawa at 6:00 AM and arrived in Shimoda at around
10:00 AM.
They saw the Black Ship Festival Official Parade in Shimoda and came to
Sakuraya after that.
Thank you very much for your stay at Pension Sakuraya.
I took this picture this morning.
Last night
all rooms were occupied with only foreigners, and English, German and
French were spoken at breakfast this morning.
I was not able to go to Black Ship Festival
because of my job after all, but I had a great time with a lot of foreign
customers at Pension Sakuraya this weekend.
If I spoke not only English
but also German and French it would be much more excited to have good
comunication with them.
It was a second day of Black Ship
Festival in Shimoda.
The official parade took place from 11:30 AM in the town and a
lot of people came to see it.
They also had a lot of shops and
performances today.
As I had a lot of customers yesterday and today I was not able to go, but my wife took pictures instead of me.
The mayor and the visitors from
New Port city come to the primary school in Shirahama every year since
13 years ago, and the school children have a welcome ceremony and an
exchange meeting with them.
I participated in this meeting as an
interpreter today.
The school children showed them some good
performances, but the chidren were really welcoming the visitors from
their heart when they were singing and dancing.
After that they had an
exchange meeting at each class.
I think it was a very good and excited experience for
the children.
They are from France and stayed at Sakuraya for 2 nights for the 1st time.
They rented bikes for 3 days and went to many places in Shimoda by bike.
On 2nd day, as it was a beautiful day he
rented a surf board and played surfing at Shirahama beach.
Thank you very much for staying with us.
I wento the beach this afternoon after 3 days.
It was sunny and very hot here in Shimoda today.
Our customers from France were going to go to the other beach by bike, but they changed their mind and went surfing to the nearest beach because of the good weather.
The 6th web page of Snorkeling point information has just completed now.
I am very tired to make it.
This website is in production and in only
Japanese, but 5 pages were completed today.
You can click the small images on the left side of main page to see a
lot of pictures for snorkeling on each web page.
Click here to get a lot of information for snorkeling in Izu peninsula.
As it became sunny and was a
little warmer than morning.
My son and I went cycling to Minami Izu town
which is located on the south side of Shimoda city this afternoon.
We
parked our car at the parking lot on the river side and went to the
beach by bicycle.
My son was very excited and we had a good time today.
They came from New York to Japan for the 1st
time and stayed at Sakuraya for 2 nights.
After 2 nights stay in Tokyo
they came to Shimoda because she wanted to surf in Shimoda.
We are very
sorry, but it had been rainy on the 1st and the 2nd day,
so she was able to surf in only the last morning.
They are ineterested
in Japanese cooking, and she sometimes make a rice in her home.
When
they had breakfast in the last morning she asked me to make a rice ball,
because it is hard for her to make it, and she always too big rice ball.
So I showed them how to make a
rice ball after breakfast, because we didn't have any other customers this morning.
They tried to make some rice balls and made very good ones.
They went to Kyoto and Osaka after check out.
Have
a nice trip in Japan!
Thank you very much for staying with us.
