    伊豆急下田駅からバスで25分程度なのに交通費が一人往復で1320円かかり地方のバス料金の高さに驚きです。 温室の植物も特別なものがあるわけでもなく、説明も少なく、無造作に鉢植えが並んでいるだけに感じました。 外観もかなり年季の入っている様子でした。 カフェで飲み物でも購入しようと思いましたが、スタッフは常連のお客さんと話してばかりでキョロキョロしていたが特に対応されずじまいで交通費をかけて行くべき...

    下田市から南伊豆へ向かう車の外はものすごい風雨。ラジオに切り替えると、南伊豆に暴風警報が出ているとのこと。運転に注意しながら、こちらのアロエセンターへ。女性スタッフさんはとても明るく親切に案内してくれました。左奥にある温室へは、赤いブーゲンビリアが咲き誇る屋根づたいで行けます。猛烈な風のため、温室の屋根が吹き飛ぶのではないかとヒヤリ。お店の中にもう一度入って安堵。アロエ類のショッピングを楽しんだり...

    Shizuoka Kamo-gun Minamiizucho Ihama 2722-60

    梅雨の小雨の日に伺いました。ササユリと紫陽花がよい時期でしたが、ほかにもホタルブクロ、オダマキなどいろいろな花が咲いていました。マップにある池はありませんでしたが、雨に濡れて色濃い花を楽しめました。自然環境そのままの植物園ということで、遊歩道はほぼ土なので雨の日には靴に注意しましょう。あと、ササユリの見頃の期間(6月15から30日)は入園無料になるのでおすすめです。

    熱川というと、バナナワニ園くらいしか観光施設を思いつかなかったのですが、ネットで調べた結果、こちら熱川ハーブテラスという施設を見つけました。メインはハーブ園になりますが、関係のお土産もいろいろ売っています。ハーブ系のお店だと、これまでは熱海のアカオハーブ&ローズガーデンにいっていたのですが、一つ選択肢が増えました。

Shizuoka Areas

With the giant Pacific Ocean to the south and the great Mount Fuji to the north, Shizuoka prefecture is blessed with some of the best views the country has to offer. The white sand beaches of the Izu Peninsula are a rare find on mainland Japan, neighbored by beautiful cliffs, tumbling hills, and natural hot springs. As Japan’s largest producer of green tea, the age-old tradition of tea drinking is ubiquitous in Shizuoka, from the miles of tea fields to the old tea houses hosting traditional tea ceremonies.
