2 Restaurant recommendation

Try  IWACHU!

http://www.iwachu.jp/  (their homepage is good for pictures and menus, but only in Japanese.)

So, check out the gourmet site, Tabelog, for more in English.  https://tabelog.com/en/kanagawa/A1410/A141002/14003696/

 

Operating for over 50 years as a restaurant with an official license to fish in the waters right in front of you, they specialize in everything to do with fish!  Tempura, sashimi, sushi, everything is freshly made!

Red snapper cooked in sweet soy sauce is not to be missed.  It goes well with white rice and is very delicious!

Approximate budget for one adult is only Y5000/dinner and Y2000/lunch.  You will never get this quality and amount in Tokyo.

 

3 Visit the Mitsuishi Coast, the tip of the peninsula

You can see the peaks of the three rocks, at high tide.  At low tide, you can see that they are part of one big rock.  You can also walk to the rocks at low tide.  This peninsula was created by lava eruptions 150,000 years ago.

Around the area, you can enjoy and actually check many creatures, like shellfish, crabs, fish, shrimp and so on.  In the summer, you can also swim in the area, though it is really rocky!

There are people fishing as well.

You have to climb down many stairs and going back up is not easy.  But, it is worth the trip!  Especially for kids.

Any questions or comments?
