Solo travel
I went there with a friend for her birthday. We were a little bit disappointed because there weren't many things to see or visit but still happy we went there. We visited a magnificent temple but the way to get there was quite an adventure 😂. The view was amazing. We visited Shizuoka's castle but a bit sad because there wasn't much to see because almost everything was burnt in a fire long time ago. The fish in shizuoka is divine and so cheap compared to France!
