KUN-EI GIRLS' HIGH, OSAKA, JAPAN / August 21-22 - Adventures in Shimoda

Mousing over photos will probably bring up some sort of comment/description if I remember to put one in.

On the way to Shimoda...

Shimoda has a peculiarly large amount of CATS. Most don't look like strays either.

.. Pretty Shimoda surroundings..

.. I think the town is obsessed with "pastel" related things..

.. The very comfy and friendly Oizu Ryokan ..

 
 

Beaching myself 10 minutes north at Shirahama beach..

 
 

.. Musashi restaurant where I had "tanuki udon" - a yummy udon soupy dish complete with fried tempura batter bits on the top..

 

.. fusuma (Japanese sliding door) shop..

.. a walk through Shimoda park reveals..

.. street pics from Shimoda

On the way back to Tokyo..
