Visiting Shimoda Park in Izu

Visiting Shimoda Park in Izu can yield a perfect shot without any editing! 🍃🌸 That's the first photo, haha. I didn't even use any filters, and if you look closely, you can even see the mosquito bites on my legs. (As an ordinary beauty, I'm already satisfied with just one good shot, hehe.) I also really like the last cat photo! 🍃🌸 It was taken on the way back to the station from Shimoda Park, where I encountered a cute little cat from someone's home. I also suggest that if you visit Shimoda Park, don't trust Google Maps for navigation 🥹. It leads you to the back entrance, which is accessible, but the hydrangeas are sparse at the beginning. 🍃🌸 People tend to stop and take photos as soon as they see flowers, but by the time they reach the area with the most blooms, they're already exhausted and can't bear the mosquito bites anymore. Starting from Izu-Kyu Shimoda Station on foot, you can initially follow Google Maps until you reach "Yanagi-bashi" (a small stone bridge). 🍃🌸 Turn left and follow the stairs up the hill, and you'll quickly be greeted with a breathtaking view of the mountain covered in hydrangeas. Lastly, remember to spray on some mosquito repellent! 🍃🌸 #DirectFromFuji #FallingIntoTheHydrangeaFairytale 🌟
