I never forget about the feeling which made me relaxed and gave me something warm when I have visited to Shizuoka again after a long time away from it. If I have not lived there and left there, never I could recognized that it was a very special place. The coast road going along Izu, the winding pass running around Mt. Fuji, the narrow way between green tea fields on broad hills. All of these seems that I could touch it. And even each branch street becomes clearer and clearer if I once give myself into the memories. It was really lucky that I could have been Shizuoka.
