Matsuzaki

While these hectic weeks and weekends have been keeping us busy, by Tuesday this week I had pretty much reached my limit! I decided then that this weekend I'd have to get away, even if only for a night. So this that's what we're doing this weekend.

I thought about Matsuzuki, a small fishing town on the west coast of the Izu peninsula. It's a quaint, quiet little place, not too far from home, and we've both been there several times. Our favourite place to stay is the Toyosaki, a Japanese style hotel, who's fish-market restaurant had some of the best fried fish I've ever eaten.

At less than 7,000 yen per person, the Toyosaki, is great value, and of course is usually packed full and nearly impossible to get a room on short notice; however, when I called on Tuesday night, there was, indeed, a room available. I eagerly booked us in for one night (tonight), and now we're getting ready to sit in the sun before driving to the coast!

Hope you unwind sufficiently. Are you going by motorcycle?
