Getting ready for the Niijima Island. This place is beautiful. Last time I been here had to be at least 5 yrs. ago. Clean air, peaceful area, clean ocean and great waves.
Picture of the free Onsen. Its got that old greek look to it. This place will be the last stop for the JPSA All Japan Longboard Pro event.

Every morning I wake up to the smell of Green Tea. One of things that shizuoka is known for. Kind of reminds me of the smell of popcorn.
