Rainbow Over Coastal Resort

Roadside snapshot of a rainbow arched over the DHC Akazawa Onsen Village spa resort in Ito, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. The resort has 10 facilities nestled in the forest of Izu Kogen that covers the headland jutting out into the Pacific Ocean on the eastern coastline of Izu, located about 146 km (91 mi) southwest of Tokyo.

I took this shot on the 3-hour drive back to Tokyo from the Kawazu-Zakura Matsuri cherry blossom festival. Visiting any resort, beach, or festival located on the eastern coastline of the Izu Peninsula limits you to Route 135 if you want to save money and avoid expressways. On this drive, traffic was  congested at certain points, but with so many beautiful views along the coastline and the ocean breeze wafting through the car windows, my dog and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves on the drive back home.
