Admiral Perry's Arrival Memorial Stone — Attraction in Shimoda

This place was unexpected visit for me we were just walking to see near by area and reached there.

There isn't much to do around the site, but it holds great historical significance, commemorating Commodore Perry's arrival and Japan-US relations. The surrounding area offers a peaceful atmosphere with scenic views of the bay. It is a must-visit for history enthusiasts. For those driving, there's a paid parking lot 5 minutes away. I recommend starting your walk to Perry...
