Travel Japan | Izukyu Shimoda

We went here in summer 2016. We were suppose to hit the beach and experience surfing. But unfortunately the weather was bad. All the surf board renting shop were closed. So we end up explore the town a little bit. It is very beautiful place. I would recommend it to everyone.

DYA717 Izu Feb 8, 2017, Japan Shimoda

DYA717 Feb 8, 2017 Japan Shimoda -- Yesterday, I asked the tourist info office person what to do with my one day left. He suggested a walking route around Mishima and/or a trip down to Shimoda. I opted for Shimoda because I wanted to go there but thought it was too far and that I had to change trains, etc, etc. This morning I started from Mishima, changed train at Atami and got off at the Izukyu-Shimoda station. Duck soup! I guess I had old information which indicated that JR didn’t go all the way down to Shimoda and you had to change to a private line. Somehow they’ve negotiated something so I can buy one ticket at the JR station. JR railpasses have restriction in that railpass guys have to pay a surcharge. TMI for most of you. Got onto the Shimoda Ropeway (1100-yen) which is a a cablecar ride up to Mount Nesugata. Nice view of of Shimoda from up high. Visited a coupla temples, then pass a section of town with really old preserved buildings. Saw the place where Perry landed in Japan. Starting to wear out so I headed back to the train station. I had lunch in the restaurant at the station. No English menu with little English spoken here. I opted for a picture lunch of a salmon sashimi bowl. ONO! I asked the ticketing agent to get me on the next super view Okoriko train again (5160-yen) and had to wait an hour. Nice and comfortable. They serve draft beer on board. Got back to Mishima around 4:30 p.m. Dinner was a salad and chicken bento from Family Mart! Really high class yeh? Ramen snack at 9:36 p.m. and I called it a day! Tomorrow I fly back to HNL! Aloha!

Tokyo to Shimoda in Izu 200KM in 12 hours!

New challenge, 200KM in a day with my trekking bike(14kg+lugqges).
See how hard it is to ride from the busy city of Tokyo to the wonderful beach in Shimoda at the extreme south of Izu.
