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…..
Today, on July 19th Saturday the fireworks festival took a place in Shirahama.
Every July the fireworks festival is held on Shirahama Ohama beach. And it started at 8:00 pm today.
It was so exciting because the fireworks were held in front of the beach and we can see it over here.
By the way the weathere forcast said that the rainy season was over today in Tokai area…..
The Black Ship Festival started to take place in Shimoda today.
This is a fireworks which is a main event for the 1st day.
My family and I were going to see this fireworks with our customers.
They arrived at Sakuraya at around 7:30 pm and departed from Sakuraya at 7:45 pm.
But when we arrived at the parking lot near the Shimoda harbor it had been occupied.
So we moved to the other parking lot, but we could see the beautiful fireworks there.
My daughters had a class of classical ballet today, and after that, we sent to the beach.
There were many people who were walking, running, and sleeping.
When we had arrived at the beach my children started to play with ball and racket….
We had a strong wind today in Shirahama.
When I went to the beach, I saw some windsurfers there.
The wind was not so strong, but they run on the sea with high speed.
It was very warm today, so they felt really excited.
By the way today’s Yuuki …….
"Please paint a roof this time."
We were going to do only it at the first stage.
But kind painter said, "If you would like to do it, of course we can do it. But you will have to paint again about 3 years later."
Sakuraya’s building is 19 years old, so the roof is too old to paint. And he said also,
"As it necessary a lot of money to set the preparation to paint, you had better change all of the roof now at all."
Besides, as there are many points of leak of wall, we have to change all of walls this time.
That’s why we decided to repair our bulding from last month, but ……
Today it was very warm, so I went to this place to take a photo.
I walked down the small road in the bush from Route 135, there are big rocks and I can find this cave.
(You can see the photo of rocks and sea, that I took last January in the main page of our website.)
It is a really fantastic place here, but probably most travellers do not know it.
Do you know where it is?
Thank you for visiting our weblogs.
Since July 2000 I had been posted a lot of photographs in our website, but I will try to introduce the photos of the beach, mountain, flower, my family and many kinds of things from today in this weblog..
Please visit our weblog again.
P.S
I took this photo 3 days ago. We could see the snow on Amagi mountains.
It has been very cold here in Shirahama in these days, but many surfers were in the sea.
