For my last long weekend in Japan and for Rebekahs birthday we took a trip to Izu, the peninsula opposite to Shizuoka, and part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. So here it is.... Counting Fun in Izu!!!! 1 Unexplored peninsula, home of onsens, WHITE sand beaches and rugged coastline. And begonias, apparently. 2 Tentative, shy and very naked bodies in a steaming hot onsen with a bathload of Ja... Read Full Entry

Shiruhama Beach

Theres nothing like the beach in the morning to freshen your thoughts

Cherry Blossom Bean Paste Rice Balls

Chery Blossom Princess

Limestone coast at Dogashima

Coastline at Dogashima

Therrrre she blows!!!

Kogenazaki Crystal Park

It was a human kaleidoscope!!!

Koibito Misaki

The sideshow alley we stumbled upon

Only in Japan!

Shabuyaki Restaurant

I was sure there was some conspiracy to not let us eat- until we found this place- cook it yourself barbecue

Happy Birthday to You!!

Shuzenji Onsen

This is a free foot onsen in the middle of town- the site where one of the emperors struck a rock with his axe, and the healing water flowed

Shuzenji Temple

I made friends with this Buddha

Coz my knee was still sore from snowboarding-japanese people believe that if you rub the buddha in the place that ails ya, then rub yourself you will be healed. I thought this one was fitting seeing he had a walking stick!

Serious face!

Sweet Love and Steam - save that thought for Austria ;)
To my koibito, Amy...another impressive blog, love all the photos, especially Fuji of course! (RIP). Never realised Izu was so diverse, will definitely have to visit. Those fish were seriously scary!!! Just two more weeks, can't wait! Today went to the Adelaide Cup, it was a great day except I got totally burnt, didn't see any horses and lost my bet, ah well! Saturday, saw Mel, she had a fantastic time overseas, was great seeing her! xxxxx

late!!
Hi Amy HAven't looked at Yahoo for ages so missed your blog! Great pics. I liked the kaleidescope best. My brother Alan, wife Ayuko and Ryosuke have just gone home...we miss them so much already and Claire wants to get on the next plane to visit!! Ayuko made sushi for us but we had run out of sushi and had to ring every house in the street to find someone to lend us some! (there are actually only 5 houses on the street). Alan brought over a huge kite he had made and we nearly lost Matthew when the wind blew hard and lifted him right off the ground. Lucky it wasn't Claire, she might have ended up anyway. Played lots of golf with Alan and Ayuko...so cheap over here (apparently!!) Love Sheila
