As you know we had a typhoon and earthquake here in Shizuoka Pref. this week.
However, there was no problem in Shimoda completely.
I went to the beach to take photos of Shirahama beach today.
There were a lot of people as usual on the beach.
I am showing the photo taken on the beach.....
Look at this!
Yesterday we had a big waves due to typhoon here in Shirahama, but it was good condition for swimming today.
Yes, the summer and a lot of people came back again.
You don't need to worry about any problem.
Hi Mr Yamamoto and family.
We are glad to hear that everything is ok there after the earthquake and typhoon! We are living in Spain now, close to the beach, however we miss Japan and Izu a lot! Hope one day we can return and we will visit you for sure!

Hello there Pension Sakuraya, just came across this e mail when I was looking for information on the earthquake. Glad to see you are all ok and that the weather has improved. It rained all the time when we stayed. From the pictures the beach looks really busy now. We had a fantastic time in japan with you and on our 14 day tour afterwards too. Anyway glad to hear you are all ok and thank you for your hospitality when we stayed.
From Tim, Kate and Matt, Cavanagh We stayed end July this year.

Hello, Tim,
This is Mr. Yamamoto.
How have you been?
Thank you very much for your comment and staying at Sakuraya for 4 nights on last July.
We are very glad to hear that you were able to have a great time in Japan.
But I think it was a little regrettable you didn't have sunny days during your stay in Shirahama.
I think the news of the earthquake was reported in the world because my friends who live in abroad worried about us.
Actually I was very surprised at that earthquake when it was happened because I was just sleeping at 5:07 in the morning.
However there was no problem and everything is OK.
Thank you very much for worrying about us and we hope you and your family are very fine.
