Lovely story. The views must have been expansive, although I sympathize about having to bear the cold during this season. At least the canine could get out for some enjoyable walking and interaction with other humans and fellow canine friends.

Interestingly, Omaezaki was one of the places I had intended to visit on a mammoth biking tour of Shizuoka around 2014–2015 or so. Unfortunately, I had some kind of alcoholic beverage on the first day of my tour when I trekked down as far as Toyokawa and stayed there, and undoubtedly the alcohol rushed through my hyper-circulated body like a hammer and put me utterly nauseous, dizzy and out of commission, and what's more the weather turned pouring rain the next morning. I turned tail, rented a car and cut the rest of my tour short, so no Omaezaki for me 😫
