#domestictraveltrip #izu #shimoda #hotsprings Shimoda City is located at the southern tip of the Izu Peninsula. It takes about 2.5 hours by express train from Tokyo, or about 4 hours by car. 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.

#0yentravelnovember What is Ryugu Sea Cave like? It is a cave with a skylight about 50m in diameter. Looking up from below, you will see a mysterious space with a gaping hole in the ceiling. There is a promenade at the top, and you can walk all the way around it. It is attracting attention as a heart spot! Looking down into the cave, you will see a heart-shaped formation! Many people visit this popular heart spot. Couples who want to deepen their bond and express their gratitude for their love, as well as those who want to deepen the bond between friends and family, please come and make fun memories. (From the Shimoda City Tourism Association website)

I went to Ryugu Sea Cave in Shizuoka Prefecture! When you look down from here, you can see a beautiful heart-shaped formation, which is very cute! It's sure to be a special moment if you see it with someone you want to deepen your bond with! Why not go and check it out? #0yentravelautumn
