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. This time, I was wondering whether to have a seafood bowl, but I wanted to drink alcohol, so I ordered a variety of items separately. 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. I highly recommend it, so please visit it. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 📍1F Dainobu Center, 109 Senbonminato-cho, Numazu City, Shizuoka Prefecture 🚃About 29 minutes walk from the south exit of JR Numazu Station #Shizuoka #Numazu #Gourmet #Gourmet trip #Seafood #Sushi #Shizuoka trip #Shizuoka gourmet #Numazu port

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." It's an interesting shop. It's a photogenic spot that is irresistible for Japanese tea lovers! If you're ever in Numazu, be sure to stop by. #Numazu #tea #photogenicspot #JapaneseTeaResearchInstitute

As soon as I entered the hotel lobby, I was enveloped by a luxurious yet understated atmosphere. Under the warm lighting, the decorative details exuded a profound artistic touch. Stepping into the room, I was taken aback by the view. The room was uniquely decorated, simple yet tasteful.

The Numazu Deep Sea Aquarium, located in Numazu Port, is an aquarium that exhibits rare creatures that live in the deep sea. The highlight is the frozen specimen of the coelacanth, which is rare in the world. It is a unique experience to see a "living fossil" that has lived unchanged since ancient times up close. 🐟 In addition, there are many mysterious creatures unique to the deep sea, such as giant isopods and octopuses, making it a spot that will pique your curiosity. 🕰️Business hours: 10:00-18:00 (may vary depending on the season) 📍Location: 83 Senbonminato-cho, Numazu City, Shizuoka Prefecture #0 yen trip February 2025

Tochoji Temple is a hidden gem in Fukuoka that I stumbled upon, and I’m so glad I did! The highlight here is the massive wooden Buddha statue, the largest of its kind in Japan. The details on the Buddha are breathtaking, and the peaceful ambiance of the temple makes it a perfect place for quiet reflection. There’s also an underground passage representing the journey to enlightenment—it’s pitch dark, which was an unforgettable experience! The temple grounds are small but well-maintained, with a beautiful five-story pagoda that looks stunning in photos. Unlike some of the more touristy shrines, this place feels more intimate and spiritual. It’s located in the Hakata area, making it easy to visit alongside other attractions. If you appreciate Buddhist temples and want to experience something unique in Fukuoka, Tochoji is a must-visit. Definitely one of my favorite stops!

📍 Numazu Club There are only eight guest rooms. There are various types of rooms, including Japanese-style rooms with futons, Western-style rooms with spacious balconies, and maisonettes that combine Japanese and Western elements. Senbonmatsubara is one of the most scenic spots on the Tokaido road, attracting many artists and literary figures from the Meiji to Showa eras. In one corner of the area, there is a Japanese-style building built based on the idea of ​​a connoisseur who wanted to hold a tea ceremony for a thousand people. In 2023, it will celebrate its 110th anniversary, and will be relaunched as a project to pass on Numazu's proud cultural assets to the next generation, reborn as a restaurant serving Chinese cuisine in a course format reminiscent of tea kaiseki. Adjacent to the approximately 10,000m2 site is a mansion-like accommodation facility with eight rooms designed by architect Akira Watanabe. You can feel the leisurely flow of time as you become one with the garden scenery that spreads out below you. Japanese and Western, classic and modern. Enjoy a unique hideaway where contrasting elements come together in perfect harmony. #HotelReview

As soon as I entered the room, the spacious space and delicate decoration immediately made me feel relaxed. The river view outside the window was picturesque, and the soft light through the floor-to-ceiling windows made the whole room particularly warm. I couldn't wait to lie on the soft bed, and the comfortable touch seemed to make me forget all my troubles and stress. I turned on the carefully designed bedside lamp, and a faint orange-yellow light filled the room. With the soft feather pillow next to me, it seemed like this was my haven. In addition to these, the hotel's service impressed me even more. Whether it was the reception staff at the front desk or the room attendants, they were all so enthusiastic and professional. No matter what help I needed, they were always able to give me a satisfactory answer at the first time. Especially at night, if there was any need, I just pressed the service bell lightly, and the attendant would appear in front of me immediately.

One of the stops on the Shizuoka trip was at Numazu Port, where we visited the Numazu Deep Sea Aquarium. The children saw deep-sea animals that are rarely seen in other aquariums, such as sleeper sharks, spider crabs, and a coelacanth specimen that can only be seen here in the world.
