2020/03/26 Cycling to Shimoda

My son who will be high school student in April will have to go to the school by bike himself, but he has never gone to the school by bike. So we took a cycling to the school through the town of Shimoda this afternoon.

We had a little west wind but it was beautiful and very warm here in Shimoda today. We had a great cycling looking over the gorgeous sea.

2019/06/02 Hydrangea Festival in Shimoda

I took these photos in our field today.

Yesterday Ajisai Matsuri (Hydrangea Festival) started in Shimoda. There are a lot of hydrangea trees with more than 3 million blossoms. Now it’s about 30% blooming and they say the best timing to see is the middle of June…

By the way, these photos were taken a long time ago.

It’s a sweet memories of my children….

My son is now 14 years old…..

2019/04/17 Driving over Amagi-toge Pass

It was cloudy today. As my wife and I had to go to Ohito in Izu city we drove over the Amagi mountains. We run through the old Amagi tunnel on the way home after a long time.

To tell the truth, my wife is not good at driving and also she doesn’t have confidence in herself. So she can not drive by herself on the route which she has never driven. However, my son will have a basket ball games in Izu city over Amagi mountains on next Saturday and my wife will have to drive by herself. Because we will have some guests on that day and I will have to stay at our house.

That’s why I drove my car to show her the route to go to the place where the games will take place…..
