There is an observation facility that takes advantage of its height of 30m above ground, and you can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of Suruga Bay, Senbonmatsubara, and the majestic Mt.

Nishiizu Dining Koyoi is located near Toda Port in Nishiizu. This time, I booked for the purpose of a cost-effective trip, but it was even nicer than I expected✨ First of all, the lounge right after arriving has a panoramic view of the sea, and while watching the sun go down, you can enjoy a welcome drink of wine inspired by the sunset or a soda inspired by the deep sea. What a wonderful time. It is a nice point that you can choose your favorite color yukata, although it is only for women! For dinner, there was a live abalone 🥹 that was so lively that it tried to escape from the pot. Lol The sashimi was very delicious, and all the other dishes were very delicious and I was full.

Store name: Uogashi Maruten Uogashi Store Recommended points: The portions are very generous, so even if you're a woman and think "I can handle it," I recommend ordering less rice.

It's not related to seafood, but the gelato after the meal was also delicious~ The seafood bowl was so full that it was all we could do to eat the gelato for three people. .
