Meeting point was shibuya 6am. i have to say i wasnt very fresh coming straight from roppongi party f(^^)--
Itakura managed to find a nice subaru for the day, very confortable, i recommend:
Wentz and Kotetsu seemed fresh, but once we hit the road we leaved the poor Itakura alone for driving while we were sleeping.Thanks for taking care of us Naoto
On the attraction, we could see the once-a-year festival : "Yama-yaki"
BEFORE:
DURING:
Its kind of field-fertility tradition if i understood well,...or maybe shizuoka's people just like burn down big stuff like a hill for fun.AFTER:
I know what you think, this seems pretty dangerous.But dont worry, these guys are real pro, of course, they planned high measure security:
See? nothing to worry about :) 
Then surprise!!
we bumped straight on the AJKF bus, no shit :
Where are you guyz?!? you make a party without inviting your welter champion??... bastards!!!
Later, althought all the chips and chocolate eaten on the road, our stomach started to ask for more. We stoped on a restaurant next to a "geiser" and I could ate the most delicious "aji" mix in my life.
We also have seen monkeys :)
Monkeys looks to be really appreciated in shizuoka...
appreciated enought to be perfored by an iron pipe along the road :
Finally arrived the best moment of the day, the ONSEN!!!
a natural hot spring just on the cliff in front of the sea....just beautifull and incredibly relaxing
As the sun was going down, we started to go back to the noisy tokyo.
I will never forget the beautifull landscape of Shizuoka, thanks to you guyz for showing me this :
Its SPA like hot springs water source, often with indoor and outdoor baths, jacuzzi, sauna, massage, healthy food,...everything to keep you a full afternoon if not more.
My selection of today will be toshimaen onsen:
