Izu - 1 day trip

Hallo everybody!


Long time no see....
Spring has finally come today! Or are  we already in summer?
Anyway weather is good and it's quite hot. 


Few weeks ago I went to Kawazu in the Izu Peninsula during the Golden week.
Hum? Golden week? 
It's a large consecutive holiday including the Emperor's birthday and the children's day.


Seems that it was raining heavily in Tokyo the day I went to Kawazu so I was pretty lucky♪


I took　some pictures of the landscape, enjoy!


Kawazu station:

The restaurant where I had some wasabi soba....
Huh wasabi soba?

 This is REAL wasabi not the fake powder one (but much easier to prepare rather than grating it :p)

Maybe not very clear but soba has a green color.
Honestly, taste was so so but wasabi itself was tasty.

Wasabi / Vanilla ice cream.

I was a bit reluctant but the wasabi taste wasn't too strong so I could eat it....

But once is ok huhu

 

100 yen for 3 small stones.
There is a big rock behind with a basket on it and if you can throw the stone into the basket your wish will come true...

 The girl looks a bit snobbish don't you think :p? 

 Shokei waterfall

 The most impressive waterfall, Kama waterfall

3 hours from Tokyo, not too far if you want to breathe some fresh air and escape from the big city.
