The toilets on the Japanese style room floor were Japanese style, but they were remodeled after all.
They are from the United States and live in Tokyo.
It was the 1st time to visit Shimoda and they stayed with us for 3 nights.
They brought their own bikes by car and took : a cycling to Shimoda on the 1st day.
On the 2nd day they went to Shimoda by car and walk around in the rain.
On the 3rd day it became sunny and they went to the nearest beach, but the water was very cold to swim.
We had great time with you!
Thank you very much for staying with us.
I took this video on last Tuesday at Shimoda harbor.
This is a Shinshin-Kisen boud for Izu islands, which leaves Shimoda harbor at 9:30 AM and come back at around 4:00 PM everyday except Wednesday.
I would like to go to Kozu-shima island, one of Izu islands, by this ferry someday in the future, because we have never been there.
They came from Yokosuka city in Kanagawa Prefecture for the Black Ship Festival in Shimoda.
On the 1st day they went to Shimoda harbor to see the fireworks display, and went to Shimoda again to see the official parade on the 2nd day.
I didn’t know before they came, but actually one of them have come and stayed at Pension Sakuraya with her husband 7 years ago.
We had great time with you!
Thank you very much for staying with us.
This a video which I took the part of the end of the Firework display of Black Ship Festival on May 19th Friday.
We had very strong south wind yesterday, but it was not windy today.
This is one of good view points on Izu peninsula, which is located between Shimoda city and Kawazu town.
If you come to Shimoda by car, you should take a break at this view point on Rout 135 of eastern side of Izu peninsula.
If it was sunny and the air was clear, you would be able to get the beautiful view of Izu seven islands and Shirahama beach.
