They still had snow at Amagi Pass, which fell on last Friday.

My family and I went to Shosenkyo last weekend, that is said to be the most spectacular gorge in Japan.

The local community had beach cleaning from 6:30 this morning.

It was beautiful today, we are now in the rainy season though.

It was sunny but we still had strong and cold west wind today.

It was rainy this morning but the blue sky appeared in the afternoon.

I went to the nearest beach Shirahama to take photos this afternoon.

It was sunny and very hot today.

As I had to go to Shimoda before 6:00 AM I got up at around 5:00 AM. Then I was able to see the sun above the horizon.

When I came back from Shimoda I took some photos on the beach.

They came to Japan from Austria for the 1st time and stayed at Pension Sakuraya for 3 nights.

Before coming to Shimoda they went to Isigakijima island in Okinawa, Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima.

And after that they went to Kawaguchi-ko lake to climb up Mt. Fuji.

Thank you for staying with us.

We hope you will come back to Japan again in the future!

It had been windy and very cold here in Shirahama in these days.
