While walking along Perry Road in Shimoda, I discovered a very stylish cafe 👀✨ When I went in, it felt like grandma's house!! My grandma's house is nothing like this, but I felt like I was at my grandma's house. lol It was a hot day, so I ordered plum beer without hesitation 🍺 It is made with homemade plum juice and beer. The rich flavor and sweetness of the plum juice stood out, and it was almost plum juice. It's very delicious 😋 This building is an old house built in the Taisho era, and the second floor is an atelier. The cafe on the first floor is only open on weekends and holidays, so please be careful when you go. 📍 Sogabo, 14-6 Sanchome, Shimoda City, Shizuoka Prefecture #OldhouseCafe #Retro #IzuTrip #trip2022

Perry Road is said to be where Perry, famous for the arrival of the Black Ships at the end of the Edo period, actually walked. It is now a stylish street with a nostalgic feel. Retro buildings line the small river and are very photogenic. If you want to see the Namako Wall, we recommend the former Sawamura residence, which can be visited for free. The Treaty of Peace and Amity between the United States and Japan was negotiated here at Ryosenji Temple in Shimoda. Purple American jasmine flowers were in full bloom. The eel rice bowl at Ogawaya, located just one step down the alley, was delicious and hearty (reservations recommended). After Perry Road, you can take a walk along the coast! 📍3-1, Shimoda City, Shizuoka Prefecture #history #gourmettrip #izutrip #trip2022

Izu Shimoda in Shizuoka Prefecture. Known as a town that opened its doors to the world since the Edo period, it is a charming town with many old-fashioned buildings remaining. In particular, Perry Road is lined with many old houses, making you feel as if you have traveled back in time to a different place. On Perry Road, I visited an old-fashioned cafe called Kusagabo. This cafe is only open on weekends and holidays. The bright light from outside poured into the large windows on the first floor, creating an open and airy atmosphere. This time, I ordered a matcha float and pound cake. The fluffy pound cake and the cool, refreshing matcha float go perfectly together. It's a menu you'll want to try in the upcoming hot season. There are other cute cafes and miscellaneous goods stores on Perry Road, so enjoy a leisurely retro trip to Shimoda! #0yentrip #Shimoda #domestictravel #tourism

Perry came to Japan in the latter half of the Edo period to trade with Japan. There are few foreigners who appear in history, so I think many people remember him well. Perry Road is where Perry is said to have walked. Today, it has become a tourist destination lined with cafes and a beautiful babbling river. It is a spot where you can enjoy the combination of Shimoda's rich natural atmosphere and history. It is about a 15-minute walk from Izukyu-Shimoda Station, and there is a bus stop called Shimoda Minami nearby. If you are visiting the Izu Peninsula or Shimoda, be sure to stop by. #0yentravel #Izutrip #Shimoda

While many associate Shimoda in Izu with the sea and often only visit the beaches, Perry Road is a spot you absolutely shouldn't miss. It's especially recommended on sunny days. Located in Shimoda, the historic site of the arrival of the Black Ships, Perry Road is a charming cobblestone path filled with historical ambiance. Lined with retro cafes, boutique shops, and renovated traditional houses, it's perfect for a leisurely stroll. You can walk around the area in about 20 to 30 minutes, making it ideal for taking photos, relaxing at a café, or simply enjoying the atmosphere. At dusk, the streetlights come on, creating an even more magical vibe. It's a spot you definitely want to include in your Shimoda itinerary!

This old-style cafe is located on Perry Road, a highlight of Shimoda sightseeing, and is only open on weekends. Gallery and Cafe Kusabo, a renovated old-style house built over 100 years ago, offers both a gallery and a cafe. Enjoy a cup of coffee and a cheesecake while gazing at the river flowing next to you. It was a space where you could take a break from your busy daily life. Only cash is accepted, so be careful. The matcha that my friend ordered looked delicious 🍵 It's also a perfect place to take a break when you're tired from walking around. #0yentravel

#0yentravelnovember [Details] Perry Road At the end of the Edo period, Commodore Perry and his party marched along this road to sign the Shimoda Treaty, an appendix to the Treaty of Peace and Amity between the United States and Japan, at Ryosenji Temple. The area still retains the image of the entertainment district of Shimoda, a port town once famous for 3,000 ships arriving and departing. The stone-paved road continues along the Hiraname River, and the rows of houses made of Izu stone and namako walls, as well as the rows of willow trees, create a unique atmosphere. In addition to Ryosenji Temple, Chorakuji Temple, where the Treaty of Peace and Amity between Japan and Russia was signed, and Shimoda Park, famous for its Hydrangea Festival, are also located in this area, and there are many unique shops, making it a representative tourist spot in Shimoda that attracts many tourists. This Perry Road won the Grand Prize in the 7th Shizuoka Prefecture Urban Landscape Award (1994).

I took a walk around Perry Road in the Izu Shimoda area of ​​Shizuoka Prefecture 🚶♀️ This is a tourist spot that spreads out along a stream! There are stylish restaurants and cafes nearby, so it was fun just walking around. I was able to feel a part of history on the street where Perry and his crew walked when the port was opened after the isolationist policy! Shimoda Park, where the hydrangeas are beautiful, is also nearby, so please visit it. 🪻 📍Address: 3-13-12 Shichikenchiyo, 13, Shimoda City, Shizuoka Prefecture, 415-0023 #Travel with me #Shimoda Tourism #Shimoda #Izu #Izu Tourism #Shizuoka #Shizuoka Tourism #Shizuoka Trip #Walk

#gw2022jp The southern tip of the Izu Peninsula. We learned about this in history class. In 1854, the Treaty of Peace and Amity between the United States and Japan opened the ports of Shimoda and Hakodate! In fact, Shimoda is also connected to Sakamoto Ryoma and Yoshida Shoin. It is said that Katsu Kaishu and Yamauchi Toyoshige met in Shimoda and allowed Ryoma to escape from his domain. It is said that Shoin was captured by the shogunate when he tried to board the Black Ships in a small boat (to study). Perry is said to have walked Perry Road many times during and after the treaty was signed. Due to the warm climate of Izu, the buildings from that time have been left as they were.

In 1854, a United States called Perry fired several "black ships" in a tie and made a few shots. He landed from Shimoda and signed the first unequal treaty with the Japanese shogunate. The island country opened its doors and began its strong country. road. I think of my "Great Qing Dynasty", basically the same beginning, but in the decades after that, it produced a completely different situation. I think that I was more "hehehe". After leaving the station from Izu Kyushuda Station, we walked for about 20 minutes to the Perry Monument. There are many shrines nearby, and there are few people in the rain, which is quite quiet. Narrow streets, old buildings, small rushes, drizzle, and a tasteful place are actually worth walking slowly, according to the Japanese style.
