Join me on a photo shoot to capture the sunrise over Tsumeki Beach and Tsumeki Island, both located on Cape Tsumeki in the city of Shimoda, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. 今回は、静岡県下田市にある静岡県の「爪木海岸」と「爪木島」の海景写真撮影の為に行ってきました。
Photos were shot on the full-frame DSLR Pentax K1-II with the Pentax D FA 28-105mm f3.5-5.6ed DC WR HD lens.
Cape Tsumeki and Suzuka Port in Shimoda, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, are located within a 2- to 3-hour drive from Tokyo (depending on traffic) or a 2.5 hour train/bus ride if you take the bullet train from Shinagawa Station.
The cape is a picturesque location on the easternmost part of the Izu Peninsula and is a popular spot for sightseeing, swimming, fishing, and hiking.
With its beautiful blue sea, verdant greenery, flower parks, botanical greenhouse, hiking trails, geological formations, and breathtaking views, Cape Tsumeki earns high rankings among the more popular tourist destinations in Shimoda.
