After shopping in Shimoda town we went to the beach "Kujuppama" today.
This beach is very close from Tsumekizaki cape in Suzaki peninsula.
It takes about 10 minutes by car from Shirahama.
We have been living in Shirahama for 13 years, but we had never been this beach.
Today we could see a beautiful sea in Shirahama, so we decided to go Kujuppama.
We parked our car in a free parking lot near this beach, and went down a path to get there …..
It was rainny today and I couldn’t take a photo outside.
So I post a picuture of Sakura that I took a few days ago.
This place is Sakura path along the river "Inouzawa-gawa" in Shimoda.
When I went there it was very cold, and there was nobody.
But I could find only one group who were drinking under the cherry blossoms……
When we went shopping to Shimoda, we went to "Shimoda Nesugatayama Ropeway" with my wife, my daughter and my son.
In Japan we, Japanese, call a Cable car "Ropeway".
There is a ropeway station in front of Shimoda train staion.
And it takes only 3 minutes and half to the top of mountain…..
Yesterday our guest asked me that he is looking for a beach which he watched in a TV program and at the Osak train station.
So I went to take pictures for him today.
This is one of them "Itado port" in the north area of Shirahama.
There are many ships for fishing of Japanese spiny lobstar, top shell, squid, jack mackerel, alfonsino and etc…. .
When I went for shopping I went to "Shirahama Chuou Beach" with my daughter and son.
This beach is on the opposit side of Shirahama Ohama beach which is nearest one of Sakuraya.
And this beach has some woody teracce and path along the sea.
Several years ago this beach had been selected as one of 88 beautiful beach of Japan.
Shizuoka Prefecture has only 2 of them….. .
" It will be sunny this afternoon." the weather forcast said, but actually it was almost cloudy at all.
I am very sorry that our guest from Italy could not see beautiful Shirahama beach.
When I went to the beach, there were many lifesavers who were students of university and were practicing.
Besides they are all women !! I was really surprised.
By the way I show you today’s my son, Yuuki, …….
Today it was very warm in Shirahama.
I felt a summer a little when I was in a car.
On the route 135 there were a lot of cars of the other prefecture, because now we are in a long holidays in Japan.
Before going to Shimoda my son, Yuuki, and me went to Shirahama beach…..
In the late afternoon, when I was preparing our dinner in the kitchen, I found that the sun was setting through the window.
So I went to the upstairs room soon and took some pictures of sunset.
It was really beautiful sunset that I couldn’t see for a long time.
It seemed like a painting on the big canvas……
It was rainny in the afternoon in Shirahama.
The tree of Kawazu Sakura has a lot of small fruits and the green leaves.
In the rain I could find the raindrop on a leaf.
It was really small and beautiful gift from the rain.
As usual, when I went to the school to pick my daughters up, we went to the beach for a while.
After we parked our car in a parking lot of Shirahama shrine, my children started to walk gladly to the beach.
My children played on the rocks and sand, but my son, Yuuki, was in a bad mood…
