七月十八日(shichigatsu jyuhachi nichi): July 18
The rainy season has finished and the summer has begun. It was very nice today.
My colleagues came to my place, and we had nice French lunch and Tuna dinner.
We went to Jogashima (城ヶ島), where is the very tip of the Miura Peninsula (三浦半島:miura hanto). The landscape is very beautiful. Since it is a peninsula, we could see both Boso peninsula (房総半島:boso hanto), Chiba (千葉) in the east and Izu Peninsula (伊豆半島:izu hanto), Shizuoka (静岡) in the west. Furthermore we could see Oshima (大島) in the south, and the Mt. Fuji in the west too.
At dinner we ate the famous tuna dish called kabuto yaki (かぶと焼). It is a grilled tuna head. Usually they are eaten by 10 people or so, but six of us ordered, therefore there were so much meat. It cost yen 12,600. You need the reservation.
After that we went to see the festival for Kainan shrine (海南神社:kainan jinja) nearby. The festival lasted for two days. We could see special parades.
We enjoyed one day trip.
