I'm traveling like a local in japan💼
📝Borrower's Numazu Notes
✔ Views of Mt. Fuji and traditional Japanese houses
The inn was an old house built 90 years ago in a seaside town surrounded by nature.
You can reach the sea within a 1-minute walk, and you can see the beautiful view of Mt. Fuji.
Mt. Fuji is especially easy to see clearly from November to February when the humidity is low and the air is clear.
✔ Local morning market
A market is held on the morning of the first day of every month in a shopping district near Numazu Station. This time, I was lucky that my stay coincided with the event.
''Mackerel Sushi'' was truly delicious sushi that gave you a sense of the warmth of the region. I was also very interested in "Japan's best conger eel sushi."
✔ Seafood tempura tower bowl
This is the dish I wanted to try when I visited Numazu before. I'm happy that I was able to experience it.
It looks impressive and tastes good too.
Isn't this too much? I thought so, but it was delicious and I didn't get tired of it till the end.
✔ Kotatsu and mandarin oranges
The prefectures with the highest mandarin orange production nationwide are Wakayama and Ehime, followed by Shizuoka.
There is also a farm where you can pick mandarin oranges while looking at Mt. Fuji.
I realized that ''mandarin oranges with the kotatsu'', a winter tradition in Japan, makes a lot of sense as it allows people to easily replenish themselves with water and nutrition while staying warm.
✔ Numazu bowl
Numazu-don is the strongest seafood bowl topped with the trio of Numazu's marine specialties: horse mackerel, sakura shrimp, and whitebait.
The real version uses rice cooked with dried horse mackerel, but since I was traveling, I simplified the cooking method. I was impressed by how delicious it was.
