The area of sea enclosed by a line drawn between Omaezaki and Irozaki on the tip of the Izu Peninsula is the Suruga Bay.
Suruga Bay is a relatively small open type bay, the surface area is approx. 2,300km2, however, the water is deeper than other bays.
At its deepest it reaches 2,500m, which makes it the deepest sea in the national waters of Japan.
A gorge deeper than 1,000m ranges from south to north in the sea-bed, from the mouth of the bay to the coast giving this bay its characteristic depth, forming the so called Suruga Trough.
The black Current at the Suruga Bay offing flows eastwards over the Izu Ogasawara ridge, showing variations caused by rises/falls and movement of the cold water mass at the Enshunada offing.
It is said that approx. 1,000 kinds of fish live in the bay. (there are approx. 2,300 kinds of fish in Japan including fresh water species.)
There are Cherry shrimp, Medai (a type of Sea Bream), Japanese Bluefish, Flatfish, Cod species, Button prawn, Pigweed prawn, Prawn, Lobster, Giant Spider Crab as well as Sardines, Pompanos and Mackerel.

In the DISCOVERY PARK area, between the planetarium and the pool..there is a very unsual site..A stone foot massage.
the course is only a 2 minute walk..but it suppose to be a healthy one..
The proper way of walking on the stone..is shown on a sign board at the begining of the course....no running..:))))..I wont do that if i was you either
There is also a second path , in case you change your mind..
There are different shapes of stones some are round and flat..others well....a little more unsual....very very sharp...
This remind me of those indian nail bed..lots of concentration not to feel the pain...

This game is very popular in Japanese arcades ...
Taiko no Tatsujin adheres to the same basic gameplay formula as so many other rhythm action games -- perform the appropriate action on the appropriate beat.
HOW TO PLAY
In this case, it's tapping the drum on its face (to create a lower, hollow sound) or on its edge (to create a higher, sharper sound).
The game also distinguishes between which side of the drum you're meant to strike, making two-handed coordination important.
One or two players can play in cooperative or competitive games. As always, steady success rakes in exponentially-increasing points, while continuous failure eventually kicks you out of the game.
In this particular case a giant bomb inflates at the right side of the screen until finally exploding -- what this has to do with drums, we're not sure, but it does look pretty cute.
A bizarre cast of characters fills the game -- their intentions are uncertain, but they do add plenty of visual personality -- and more than 30 songs are available...

Yaizu is a sleepy little fishing port...About 10 minutes ride from shizuoka city station... The city was founded on March 1 1951.. Yaizu is one of the oldest locality names appeared in Japanese...

Tochiyamagawa Park is a natural park to preserve the ecosystem of original meandering river flow of Tochiyama river. It is also nice place to stroll.
