Nic’s Friends and the Shizuoka Festival

This post covers April 4th

Woke up, breakfasted then filled in some time in Hamamatsu in the morning waiting for the train:

Wandering

Saw an interesting rack:

Watched the street cleaner lady:

Anyway, the train got us from Hamamatsu to Shizuoka

Hamamatsu to Shizuoka & Hatsukaesai Festival at Sunpu Castle at EveryTrail

Map your trip with EveryTrail

Click through and zoom in at either end of the route to see the wanderings. (Incidentally I don’t know what’s up with these everytrail links going white, but for now I’m assuming it’s a fault at their end and will keep linking them here in the hope they sort it out eventually…)

Caught up with Nicola’s friends at Shizuoka:
