2012/04/09 Let's go up to the Mt. Nesugata in Shimoda by cablecar!
The TV show said it was 23*C or over in this afternoon in Tokyo.
Here in Shimoda it's also getting warmer day by day.
When I was driving it was too hot inside, so I opened the window.
By the way, I took this picture on the riverside near Shimoda train station in this afternoon.
There is a cable car going up to the top of mountain, surrounded by Sakura trees and fresh green leaves.
In this season a lot of flowers start blooming on the top.
Let's try and go to the top by cablecar!
Here is an information of Shimoda cablecar.

2011/08/25 Shimoda Aquarium with my son, Yuuki
During summer, as we are very busy we can't go anywhere with my children.
However, when we have a time I go to the beach for swimming with my children twice or 3 times a summer.
I was going to the beach today again, but it was cloudy. So I decided to go to the aquarium with my son, Yuuki.
It was a second time for him to go there.
My son was very excited and happy today.
Sakura is fully blooming. - - Shimoda Ropeway (Cable Car)

When I saw the ocean from our pension I could see Izu Oshima island clearly, so I desided to go to Mt. Nesugata-yama by Cable car with my wife and son.
It's only 3 minutes by calbe car to get to the top from the cable car station near Izukyu Shimoda station.
As I was thinking we could get very beutiful senery from the top of mountain like this picture........

Izu Bio Park in Inatori
Today, as my wife had to wok her job my son, Yuuki and I went to the amusement park "Izu Bio Park" in Inatori town.
On the way to Inatori I took this picture as usual.
This is Shirahama Chuou Beach near Shimoda Prince Hotel.
I could see Izu Oshima island clearly today.
From Shirahama it takes about 25 mintues by car to Bio Park....
Fureai no Mori in Inatori town
"Let's go to the long slide this afternoon !"
After checking out of our guest I said so.
My children of course agreed with me, so we went a park in Inatori is called "Fureai no mori" after I finished to clean up the guest room.
In this park there are many kinds of trees, playground equipments and observatory.
Naturally our main purpose was a long slide.
The length of this slide is 50 meters.
From the top of this slide we can see a beautiful view of Inatori town, pacific ocean and Izu seven islands.
As soon as we got there my daughter started to slide down, but it didn't work well.....
Rotenburo/Onsen/Kawazu Seven Water Falls
Today it was rainny and cloudy, and I didn't take a photo.
So I introduce one of Onsen of Izu peninsula.
This is a "Oodaru", a biggest fall of Kawazu Seven Falls.
In this local area they call a fall "Taru"or "Daru" in Japanese, so Severn Falls is called "Nanadaru".
There is a Japanese style Ryokan "Amagisou" near this fall. And they have a big field of Onsen "Rotenburo" which anybody can take......

Strawberry Farm in Minami Izu
In spring, we, Japanese have many imagination about it, but one of them is "Strawberry".
In Izu peninsula there are some places where we can pick strawberrys to eat in a farm.
But the nearest place is Minami Izu, "South area of Izu", about 30 minutes by car from Shirahama.
We have ever been there for 2 times until now, I'm going to show you some pictures that I took there from my computer.....
Shimoda Ropeway (Cable Car)
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.....
Shimoda Aquarium
Today my son and me went to Aquarium in Shimoda with a family of my friend of university.
I have ever been this aquarium many times, but it was first time for my son. He was very excited there.
This aquarium has many places to see, and this is one of them "Floating Aqua Tank".
It means this big aqua tank is floating on the sea as a ship. I think we can't see it in the other aquarium in Japan. The other tanks are mostly in the buildings......
Hakone Kowakien Yunessun
On January 15th, I went to Hakone with my family to take a bath in Hakone Kowakien Spa Resort "Yunessun" in Kanagawa Pref.
After we parked our car at the 2nd parking lot we could get to the Spa building by shattle bus.
It was cloudy and cold there but very warm in the building. We changed the clothes in the dressing room and went into the Spa zone.
There are many kinds of Spa, the God's Aegean sea, Ancient Roman Bath, Turkish Hamam and etc inside the building, so we were able to be relaxing them with a variety of water massaging devices, and excited Dead sea Spa using salt imported from Dead sea in the middle sea. (But my children could not take this spa because they had pain on the skin.)
After luch we were going to outside, but we gave it up. Because it was really cold there. Actually we wanted to take Green tea Spa, Japanese Sake Spa, Wine Spa and etc, but we recommend to go to Hakone except cold season.
But we could spend good time and experience there. My children could be excited. (The baby in diaper are allowed here. But please use the disposable and waterproof diaper.)
Next time we want to take another Spa "Mori no Yu"in this Yunessun Spa resort, the traditional Japanese style Onsen, sectioned into private areas for women and for men in beautiful natural settings outside.
P.S: I posted the photos that I took today into my webpage. Thank you.
