Photo 1: Fishing Village
Location: Suzaki Port, Shimoda, Shizuoka Pref., Japan
Photo Taken: Late morning on January 25, 2023
This small fishing port is home to both commercial and chartered fishing boats in a cove where the local villagers live in houses that are densely packed in steps on the slopes facing the sea.
The cove was an active port-of-call between Edo (current-day Tokyo) and western Japan during the Edo Period (1603 to 1867) when ships needed to wait for favorable winds.
The winds were incredibly strong during this photo shoot, but this quaint little cove offered protection from easterly winds allowing for calm waters despite the crashing waves just outside the cove.

Photo 2: Historic Port
Location: Suzaki Port, Shimoda, Shizuoka Pref., Japan
Photo Taken: Late morning on January 25, 2023
This small fishing port has a history dating back to the Edo Period (1603 to 1867). Just outside the seawall of this fishing port are old quarry sites where blocks of stone were removed for use in building Edo Castle in 1547. Remnants of Edo Castle can still be seen today in central Tokyo at the Imperial Palace.
