We started cycling from Mochimune Fishing Port, Shizuoka City.
Now,Let's go!


Our rental bikes
All bikes are hybrid bikes (in Japan, we call them "Cross Bike").


We carried these transceivers while enjoying cycling!
Have you ever tried them?
It is great fum!


Along Mochimune Beach.
It is a very pleasant area.


Our first stop.
Sekibe Ocean Bridge.
Unfortunately we could not see Mountain Fuji.


It would been like this by fine weather.


Is this Shimanami Kaido Ocean Bridge?


Along the Mariko River.
This is a safe road for cyclists. no cars running, safety.

From the sea (Suruga Bay) to the Utsunoya Pass
is a nice cycling course.

The sea, rivers, mountains, and an old station town,
we can enjoy various local spots in Shizuoka City.


 Arrival at  Chojiya restaurant (since 1596!!).


The same restaurant painted by the famous ukiyo-e artist
Hiroshige Utagawa in the 19th century.


Oh, It's uphill! Fight!


Arrival at Utsunoya Pass area.
Uphill on the right side.
Utsunoya Village on the left side.
We chose the left side.


This whole area is the site of the old station town.
The air was cool.


Arrival at Utsunoya Pass
This are is also suitable for trail running.
There is a map of the course.


This is the Meiji Tunnel.
This old tunnel  is not used now.
A very mysterious place. 
It is well known as the first toll tunnel in Japan.

We will return from there.

to be continued.

Thank you!
