1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour #519 - Suruga Bay Ferry and Toi Goldmine, Shizuoka, Japan

1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #519

- Suruga Bay Ferry and Toi Goldmine, Shizuoka, Japan
 
 
(We took the Suruga Bay Ferry, which connects the Shimizu Port to the town of Toi on the Izu Peninsula in an hour. On a picture perfect day, the shy Mt Fuji opened up for us, and from the deck of the ferry, it is as beautiful as those printed on magazines. Our time at this quirky Toi Goldmine was spent walking through their goldmine, ending with lunch that included gold-leaf tips as dressing for our dishes. The 250kg gold bar here, if touched, will give the person a load of fortune - which means, my new year will be filled with lots of dollars)
