Numazu City, Shizuoka Prefecture. Numazu Kanehachi is located at Numazu Port. The interior of the restaurant is luxurious and stylish, and it is a very comfortable restaurant. It is a comfortable restaurant that is easy for women to enter alone.

When I visited the restaurant after 1:00 pm on a weekday, it was almost full. The sashimi and sushi were very fresh and delicious. And the price is also reasonable, so I'm grateful.

Nishiizu Dining Koyoi is located near Toda Port in Nishiizu. This time, I booked for the purpose of a cost-effective trip, but it was even nicer than I expected✨ First of all, the lounge right after arriving has a panoramic view of the sea, and while watching the sun go down, you can enjoy a welcome drink of wine inspired by the sunset or a soda inspired by the deep sea. What a wonderful time. It is a nice point that you can choose your favorite color yukata, although it is only for women! For dinner, there was a live abalone 🥹 that was so lively that it tried to escape from the pot. Lol The sashimi was very delicious, and all the other dishes were very delicious and I was full. To finish, we had rice with wasabi called tear rice, and the delicious aroma of wasabi was irresistible. For breakfast, we had lots of rice accompaniments, freshly cooked rice, and seaweed miso soup. I was full so I gave up on second servings, but all the rice accompaniments were so delicious that I wanted to have three more bowls 🥲 The hot springs were nice and the staff were lovely 🙆‍♀️ The room was a little old, but it was comfortable and the sunset and the sea were beautiful! From 13,000 yen per person (this price included two meals during Golden Week 😳) #gw2022jp #gourmettrip #valuehotel #greatview #hotspring

I went to the Japanese Tea Research Institute in Numazu, Shizuoka Prefecture. Chatsutei, a tea shop that has been in business for over 100 years, has launched a new brand, the Delicious Japanese Tea Research Institute, in addition to the traditional tea shop that processes and sells tea. Based in Numazu, Shizuoka Prefecture, it has been developing various tea products since its founding in 1909 with the philosophy of "continuing to convey the true deliciousness of Japanese tea."

Store name: Uogashi Maruten Uogashi Store Recommended points: The portions are very generous, so even if you're a woman and think "I can handle it," I recommend ordering less rice. The fish is also very generous, so you'll be full. You won't be able to eat dessert. Price: This volume, number of ingredients, and fish soup set cost less than 2,000 yen!! Very satisfied!! It's not related to seafood, but the gelato after the meal was also delicious~ The seafood bowl was so full that it was all we could do to eat the gelato for three people. . Next time, I'll try the undersea pudding🍮 #gourmettrip #seafoodbowl #numazu #shizuoka #trip2022

Before climbing Mt. Ohira, I stopped by Sengen Shrine at the trailhead. It's a very cute shrine with a small torii gate. I made a request to ensure a safe climb before starting the climb.
