Shizuoka

4.4
out of 5

Shizuoka is a hidden gem on the east coast of Japan, often overshadowed by the more popular tourist destinations of Tokyo and Kyoto. But with its dramatic mountainous landscape, pristine coastal towns and abundance of hot springs, Shizuoka is well worth a visit. The city of Shizuoka is a good base for exploring the region, with a lively downtown area and a castle that overlooks the city from a hilltop perch. From here, it’s easy to take day trips to the coast or into the mountains, where you can hike, bike or even ski in the winter. Be sure to visit one of the region’s many onsen (hot springs), where you can relax in the therapeutic waters after a long day of sightseeing.

Took some Advil in the afternoon after waking up with a migraine-like sinusitis. I remembered that I still ought to shoot Mt. Fuji from the Yokohama port but then it was blocked with clouds. I took this 'tourist' shot ,yet again, of Minato Mirai instead. The D300 does this great job of flattening the contrast on the fly but too bad I had to settle with my D80's D-lighting PP for now.
