[2025 Shimoda Attraction] Travel Guide for Ryosenji (Updated Jul)

Shimoda is located in the south of the Izu Peninsula. It's famous for Perry's Black Ships. There aren't many tourists, so it's perfect for a weekend trip from Tokyo 😉 Here's a day to spend in Shimoda~ ① Shimoda Port (photos 1, 8, and 9) The port where Perry's Black Ships arrived at the end of the Edo period ⚓️ It's recommended to stroll around this historic port town. There are local shops and a monument to Perry. At Shimoda Port, you can take an Izu Cruise and tour the port like the Black Ships of the past 🚢 I hope you enjoy the 20-minute tour 🤍 ② Perry Road (photo 6) It's named Perry Road because it's the road Perry and his men took to sign the Shimoda Treaty, the Treaty of Peace and Amity between the United States and Japan. The houses lined up along the river are characterized by their namako walls. These namako-walled houses have been turned into cafes and restaurants, so you can experience the old-fashioned atmosphere! ! Just walking around the town makes you feel like you've traveled back in time to the Edo or Meiji era. ③ Ryosenji Temple (7th photo) Ryosenji Temple is known as the temple where the Japan-US Shimoda Treaty was signed. Exchanges between Japan and the US began at this temple. It is also known as the Jasmine Temple because the purple jasmine flowers bloom in abundance around the end of Golden Week in May. I visited the temple in mid-May without knowing, and the temple was dyed purple and it was very beautiful! Please go and feel the history of Shimoda! ④ Shirahama Ohama Beach (2nd and 3rd photos) Shirahama has pure white sand and blue sea. The water is quite clear and very beautiful. Many people visit in the summer and enjoy swimming in the sea. Not only the sea, but also the torii gates stand, so you can take pictures of the beautiful sea ✖︎ torii ⛩️ scenery. It's the perfect place for the coming summer! ⑤ Kanaya Ryokan (photos 4 and 5) Kanaya Ryokan was founded in 1867 and has a long history. It is a ryokan with a wonderful atmosphere where you can feel the history from the end of the Edo period. It is famous for its Sennin-buro (bath for 1,000 people), and you can visit as a day trip hot spring♨️ Of course, I recommend staying overnight and tasting the seafood dishes. It will be a relaxing day where you can relieve your daily fatigue! Shimoda is a surprisingly hidden gem. Have a relaxing holiday 🙌 ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ 📍: Shimoda, Shizuoka 📸: Canon EOS 5D Mark Ⅳ ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ #JapanTravelGuide #Shizuoka #ShizuokaTourism #ShizuokaTrip #ShizuokaTourism #ShizuokaBeautifulViews #Izu #IzuTrip #IzuTourism #IzuPeninsula #Shimoda #ShimodaTourism #ShirahamaBeach #KanayaRyokan #Ryosenji #ShimodaPort #PerryRoad

We will introduce the charm of Shimoda, where beautiful nature and the history of the end of the Edo period intersect! ✼　　✼　　✼　　✼　　✼ ■With the sea. Shimoda Aquarium An aquarium that uses a natural cove. You can observe creatures living with little stress in the beautiful sea of ​​Shimoda. There are also plenty of experiential activities, such as dolphin shows and dolphin swimming where you can swim with them. ■Emerald green sea The highly transparent sea and white sandy beach are a spectacular sight that you would never imagine is on Honshu! I was surprised by its beauty when I visited for the first time. ・Shirahama Ohama Beach A wide beach with a total length of about 800m. It is crowded with surfers and beachgoers. ・Shirahama Central Coast A relaxing atmosphere, especially recommended for families. ・Kujuppama A hidden beach where you can enjoy playing on the rocks. It has a private beach atmosphere. ■Shimoda's History In 1853, Perry's Black Ships arrived. The Shogunate, which had been in isolation, chose Shimoda as the port to open to the public at this time. Famous sites include the cobblestone "Perry Road" where Commodore Perry walked, and "Ryosenji Temple" where the Treaty of Peace and Amity between the United States and Japan was signed. ■Activities unique to the terrain Shimoda's coastline has many inlets. Tropical fish and coral reefs live at "Hirizohama," which can only be reached by boat. The sea cave "Ryugu Sea Cave" is also a popular spot because it looks heart-shaped when viewed from above. Explore Shimoda's nature by kayaking, diving, or snorkeling. ■Hot springs and seafood The ultimate beach resort x hot springs! Why not spend some time relaxing your body and mind while enjoying boiled golden-eyed snapper and fresh seafood? ✼　　✼　　✼　　✼　　✼ [Access] ・Train From Tokyo Station Express "Odoriko" or "Saphir Odoriko" No transfers to Izukyu-Shimoda Station Travel time: Approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes Fare: Approximately 6,177 yen one way (including reserved seat fee) ・Car Travel time: Approximately 3.5 to 4 hours ✼　　✼　　✼　　✼　　✼ I've been to Shimoda twice so far. The first time was during the season when you couldn't go into the sea, but I spent the time kayaking and taking a bath in the hot springs. I also walked through the atmospheric streets of Shimoda, lined with storehouses with "sea cucumber walls," and it was a soothing time for my heart.

#FuriTabi I went to Shimoda in Shizuoka Prefecture☺️ Shimoda is known for its beautiful sea, but it is also a city that is well-known historically. Shimoda is a port town that was the stage for the opening of Japan to the world at the end of the Edo period. Perry arrived from America and the Treaty of Peace and Amity was signed there. The first photo is the monument to Perry's landing The second and third photos are Perry Road. There were cafes and stylish shops on Perry Road☺️ (The last photo shows what I had at a retro cafe.) In Shimoda, I was able to see Zuiryuzan Gyokusenji Temple, the first US Consulate General in Japan, and statues of Yoshida Shoin and Sakamoto Ryoma. It was a very educational day on a trip that touched history☺️ —————————————————————- 📍Location: Shimoda Station, Ito Line/Izu Kyuko Line #100TravelStyles #mayu✈️trip🇯🇵 #DomesticTravel
