Seafood on rice in Shizuoka

Hi everyone! I’m Maro from Japan.

In my blog, I will introduce how to travel in Japan like a local Japanese!

.

I have traveled across Japan by car for 1 month

and there are so many beautiful views and delicious local food.

.

In this series, “travel journy across Japan by car”

let me share you how I traveled to each prefecture

(it is a unit of area in Japan, Japan has 47 prefecture)

and how to travel and enjoy Japan in a local way.

.

So now, let’s get started!

This is a journal about Shizuoka prefecture!(day4,6)

.

Do you know Shizuoka prefecture?

.

Maybe no, because it’s not that popular like Tokyo or Kyoto in Japan.

But Shizuoka has also many amazing places so let me show you!

.

The first place I visited is “Kakitagawa park”.

This is spring from Mt.Fuji and super high transparency.

The blue was so beautiful and amazing like space.

.

For dinner, I had seafood on rice (Kaisen-Don in Japanese) in Numazu!

Numazu is famous for fresh seafood.

It was so fresh and delicious!

In Numazu, you can eat fresh raw small shrimp and whitebait.

.

For lunch in second day, I went to “Sawayaka”,

super famous hamburger steak.

This is sooo delicious and reasonable, so you should definitely go to this restaurant when u visit Shizuoka.

Every local friend recommends me go and it was amazing.

.

It’s different from other hamburger steaks because this is raw inside!

So you can enjoy the taste of raw beef and it is so great!

.

And the hospitality of this restaurant is also amazing.

Every staff has great “Omotenashi” spirit in Japanese.

.

Next place is “Miho-no-Matsubara”.

This is one of the best 3 views in Japan and famous for beautiful view of Mt.Fuji with sea and pine forest.

In this day, I couldn’t sea Mt.Fuji because it was cloud.

I hope it will be sunny and you can see the amazing view when you visit here.

.

The next place is “Air park”.

This is a museum of Japan Air Self-Defense Force.

It has so many old airplane of Japan Air Self-Defense Force.

It was so cool!

.

The dinner for last day in Shizuoka was “Hamamatsu-Gyoza”.

Hamamatsu is a name of city in Shizuoka and famous for Gyoza(Japanese dumplings)!

It is fried dumplings and so delicious!

Inside is onion, cabbage and pork.

.

The sweetness of vegetable and salty soy source and hot chili oil match a lot!

.

Shizuoka has so many great places to visit and

How was this first half of Shizuoka travel journal for you?
