They came from Tokyo and stayed for 3 nights with their grand mother who is from England.
They spent all day with the blue water on the beach under the sun for 2 days.
And they went to the beach to say good bye before leaving on the last day.
Thank you for staying with us.
We also had a great time with you!
See you again in summer!!

It's sunny again in Shimoda this morning.
We have a blue sky and sunshine here in Shirahama, and could see the Izu seven islands over the ocean.
I am going to the beach with my son today.

Have you ever seen the blue sea like this?
Today we had a strong west wind in Shimoda, but the water was shining blue.
When I was taking photos on the road some girls said,
"Oh, great. This beach makes us excited!"
You can get the blue water like this in Shimoda, 3 hours driving from Tokyo.
You don't have to go to the southern islands to see it.

When I was playing with my son yesterday I found out a ladybug in our garden.
She is also a small messenger of spring.
We can find out spring at many places in this season.
Since this morning it has been raining here in Shirahama.
But, as we don't have wind it's very quiet.
We can hear the singing of birds from the mountain, and the booming(?) of the sea as well.
When I walked around I found out a small violet in fron of the entrance of our Pension.
This flower is also telling that the spring has come.

We had a little bit wind today, but it was sunny again!
When I went to the junior high school to pick my daughter up I took this picture.
From this place we can see Shirahama Beach over the rock and Amagi mountains in the distance.
Everytime I pass this place I am excited with its color under the sun shine.
Shirahama beach has been already covered by spring color!
Today I went to Shizuoka city by car.
I could see the beautiful Mt. Fuji with snow under the blue sky.
I took this picture at Fujikawa Service Area on Tomei Express Way this morning.
We can't see this scenery so many times a year, so I was lucky!!
Since this morning we have a strong wind and a heavy rain in Shimoda.
Kawazu Sakura blossoms next to the entrance are fallen by them.
This cherry blossoms falling is telling us the end of Kawazu sakura season at last, and the real spring and the another kind of Sakura will be coming in Izu peninsula.
It's getting warmer and warmer in Shimoda.
I could see the beautiful scenery of the Izu Oshima island on the pacific ocean from the top of mountain behind Sakuraya.
Thank you everyone and thank you everything.

I've been listening the Internet radio KQED or BBC in my car, but I had to put my smartphone on the seat.
So I wanted to get any holder and found out it on the Internet.
This holder is sticked to anything by its sucker, so we don't need any bolts to put it on.
When I want to use my smartphone as a GPS this holder is the best tool from now.
They are from India and live in Kanagawa Pref. in Japan.
One of them have stayed at Sakuraya 4 years ago, and came with his friends this time.
All of them speak Japanese well, so I could have a very good comunication in Japanese with them.
Thank you very much for staying with us.
