Seafood Delights and a Cruise at the Roadside Station in Shimoda, Izu
Hi, I'm Chim 🐈, a big fan of exploring roadside stations! This time, let me introduce you to 'Kaikoku Shimoda Minato', a roadside station located on the Izu Peninsula.
What makes this roadside station special is that you can hop on the sightseeing cruise ship 'Kurofune' from the neighboring Shimoda Port 🚢. On sunny days, taking a cruise around Shimoda Port is highly recommended ✨.
The station also boasts a wide variety of souvenir shops, making it a great spot to visit 🤍. Be sure to check it out!
