Shizuoka-ken Travel Blogs - Page 3

I lived in Japan for 2 years while serving in the Navy, and have been back many times. I absolutely love Japan and recommend it to anyone! It still remains and will always be in my top 3 travel destinations!

well i am not actually in shizuoka but all the maps are in japanese and i don't know that crazy stuff so i am like an hour south in Haibara cho. green tea farms everywhere. right on the beach pretty cool just cruising around on yuki's motorcycle and having a good time.
