Had Kobe award-winning A5 beef dinner in Ginza !!
Strolled in Daikanyama before departure
headed north into the mountains to visit the below before returning car. Stopped by Nirayama to have sushi lunch and also the strawberry farm with self-picking. However, the strawberries were less tasty than our first visit in Mar 2005 and thus we gave it a pass.
Headed to the southern tip in Izukyu Shimoda for a bay cruise. The cruise was named after the “Black Ship” to commemorate the arrival of the same commanded by Commodore Perry from US in Shimoda when Japan was still in self-isolation.
